Classical Era

The Classical Era of music is a period of music history that began in the mid-1700s and lasted until the early 1800s. It is characterized by a focus on formal structures, such as sonata form, and a preference for homophonic textures. The Classical Era is often seen as a bridge between the Baroque and Romantic periods, and is known for its balance, clarity, and restraint. Composers of the Classical Era include Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven.
