 LESSON 2: THE LIFE AND WORKS OF CLASSICAL COMPOSERS

The Austrian composer Franz Joseph

Haydn (1732 – 1809) was one of the most
important figures in the development of the
Classical style of music during the 18th century.
He helped establish the forms and styles for the
string quartet and symphony. Haydn was a
prolific composer, and some of his most well-
known works are Symphony No. 92 in G Major,
Emperor Quartet, and Cello Concerto No. 2 in D
Major. His compositions are often characterized
as light, witty, and elegant. The movie hit “Bird
Box” features his composition Piano Sonata No.
47 in B Minor.

Haydn had a hard childhood: at six years old he had to work as a boy singer in
a choir and after his voice broke he had to earn his money by playing dance music
and serving as a butler. Becoming famous for his compositions Haydn was employed
as "Kapellmeister" by Fuerst Esterhazy in Eisenstadt in 1761. For thirty years he
served him and composed his pieces for the pleasure of the aristocrats; his musicians
used to call him "Papa Haydn" as he was caring for them and was socially engaged.
After the death of Esterhazy, Haydn moved to Vienna leaving it only twice for London
where he composed his "London symphonies".

An Austrian composer of the Classical

period, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756 –
1791) is widely recognized as one of the greatest
composers of Western music. He is the only
composer to write and excel in all of the musical
genres of his time. Rumored to have had the
ability to play music at age three and to write
music at age five, Mozart began his career as a
child prodigy. Notable compositions include The
Marriage of Figaro, Elvira Madigan, and Clarinet
Quintet in A Major, K 581.
Mozart was already playing violin and
harpsichord at the age of five. At six, he was
recognized as an exceptional pianist and
4
composing excellent music at the age of seven. At the age of thirteen, he had written
sonatas, concertos, symphonies, religious works and operas. He was known and
experimented in all kinds of music and composed hundreds. Unfortunately, due to
mismanaged finances he lived his life in poverty. He died young and was buried in an
unknown grave.

The German composer and pianist Ludwig

van Beethoven (1770 – 1827) is widely regarded
as the greatest composer who ever lived. He
started learning piano around age 4, taught by
his father. He had a natural gift, and got good
quickly. He expanded the Classical traditions of
Joseph Haydn, one of his teachers, and
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and experimented
with personal expression, a characteristic that
influenced the Romantic composers who
succeeded him.
His life and career were marked by
progressive deafness, yet the malady did not
prevent him from composing some of his most
important works during the last 10 years of his
life when he was nearly unable to hear. Widening
the scope of sonata, symphony, concerto, and
quartet, Beethoven’s notable works include Symphony No. 9 in D Minor, Op. 125,
Symphony No. 5 in C Minor, Op. 67, Moonlight Sonata, and Für Elise. The Symphony
No. 5 in C minor of Ludwig van Beethoven, Op. 67, was written between 1804 and
1808. It is one of the best-known compositions in classical music and one of the most
frequently played symphonies, and it is widely considered one of the cornerstones of
western music. It is being played in cartoon movies like Tom and Jerry.

LESSON 3: ELEMENTS OF MUSIC IN THE CONTEXT OF CLASSICAL

PERIOD
Simple Recall: It is important to consider the different elements of music as basis for
understanding the music of the Classical period.

Basic Elements of Music and its related terms:

➢ Rhythm: (beat, meter, tempo, syncopation)
➢ Dynamics: (forte, piano, [etc.], crescendo, decrescendo)
➢ Melody: (pitch, theme, conjunct, disjunct)
➢ Harmony: (chord, progression, consonance, dissonance, key, tonality,
atonality)
➢ Tone color: (register, range, instrumentation)
➢ Texture: (monophonic, homophonic, polyphonic, imitation,
counterpoint)
➢ Form: (binary, ternary, strophic, through-composed)

Music of the Classical period has a texture that is mainly homophonic. Most
melodies is being accompanied in chordal. Variety and contrast within a piece became
more evident. The use of varying keys, melodies, rhythms and dynamics is a common
practice along with frequent changes of mood. They made use of larger size orchestra
and the harpsichord fell out of use and was replaced by the piano ( or fortepiano).
Importance was given to instrumental music and sonata form developed.
