[Home]Classical Music Era

HomePage | Recent Changes | Preferences

Sometimes the term classical is used to distinguish the period between baroque and romantic. In this sense classical music begins approximately with Haydn and Mozart and ends with Beethoven. It is distinquished by the use of crescendo? to accent suspension and return to the tonic?. Earlier composers did not have as many tools of crescendo; later composers found more more varied uses for those tools.
