The Classical period lasted from 1750 to 1820. It featured the works of four great composers: Christoph Gluck, Franz Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Ludwig Van Beethoven. During this period, the orchestra grew in size and standardized into four families of instruments. Composers also began using a four-movement structure with contrasting keys, tempos, and forms such as sonata form.

The classical period is generally said to be from 1750 to 1820. It is a
very musically rich period of time. The classical period includes the lives and works of four great composers. Christoph Gluck ~ noted for his operas (1714 1787) Franz Joseph Haydn ~ wrote 104 symphonies, and is credited with (1732 1809) having established the basis of sonata form. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart ~ equally great in symphony music, (1756 1791) chamber music and opera. Ludwig Van Beethoven ~ who represents the culmination of the classical (1770 1827) style and the transition to the Romantic period. During the Classical period the size of the orchestra grew and the combinations of instruments into four separate families became the standard. Strings violins I and II, violas, cellos and double basses Woodwinds 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons. Brasses 2 french horns, 2 trumpets. Percussion 2 timpani This new orchestra made use of crescendos and decrescendos and a wider variety of dynamics rather than the terraced dynamics of the Baroque period. (1600 1750) Structure and form were very important. New forms became normal, such as First Movement form, (which is known as sonata form), Minuet and Trio, and Theme and Variations. The Classical Period Four Movement Design With the exception of the suite, most large instrumental works of the Baroque period contained three movements. During the classical period, composers began using a four-movement design with movements in different forms, and contrasting keys and tempos. First movement fast and in sonata form Second movement- slow and lyrical; usually rondo, ternary or theme and variations form. Third movement moderate tempo; minuet and trio form Fourth movement - fast; rondo or sonata form. SONATA FORM Sonata form or first movement form has a very specific structure. 1 Exposition in this section, 2 contrasting themes are presented. 2- Development where the themes are played around with and developed into new ideas. 3- Recapitulationa restatement of the themes. This time, normally, all themes are in the same key.
