Document Summary
The classical era only lasts 45 years (0-45 seconds) Music in late 18th cent different from early. Galant - new style end of 18th century: delicate/subtle expression compared to less restrained baroque expression, things get hands off emotionally. Terminology: term classical can be used for concert music or the actual time period, referes to interest in classical antiquity. Classical era musical ears tend to lag behind painting/architecture when musicians talk about baroque - were thinking later than a painter of baroque. Romantic mid 19th century or later (but a literature scholar would think this is the classical era) Opera buff (joking drama) and aria mainly: entertaining, humorous, more flexibility in subject manner. Rather than focus on gods and myths, popular stories begin to be staged in operatic form. Synopsis: don juan kills ill commendatore while escaping from attacking donna anna; his. Bach famously had a gang of apprentices that he would teach.
