Classical Period

The Classical Period, spanning roughly from 1730 to 1820, is characterized by its emphasis on clarity, balance, and form, with music that often features elegant melodies and structured compositions. Originating in Europe, it marked a shift from the complexity of the Baroque era to a more refined and expressive style. Notable composers like Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven crafted symphonies, sonatas, and operas that continue to captivate audiences with their harmonic precision and emotional depth.
