The Classical Music Period (1720-1830)
Neo-classic/Enlightenment Era • Neo=new • “Age of Reason” – historical intellectual movement – ideas of Greece and Rome • Marked by rationality, ethics, aesthetics, and knowledge • Get away from superstition (magic), irrationality, and tyranny of dark ages • Enlightenment – framework for American and French revolution
Continued • Birth of capitalism, socialism, liberalism, and fascism • Arts important way of spreading knowledge and serving the state’s needs • State created arts academies – served the state’s needs and ideas – created qualifications and diplomas • Women recognized in the arts for first time • Public museums and art galleries created
Classical Music • Polyphony replaced by homophonic (melody supported by system of harmony) • Use of chords – more audible • Movement centered in/around Vienna • Begins in 1750’s and 60’s • Reached maturity in 70’s and 80’s – around the time of the American & French revolutions
Mozart • First symphony (musical work made up of 4 movements separated by silence) at age 8 • Amadeus means “loved by God” • Austrian Emperor Joseph II accused his music of “too many notes” • Spread his reputation in Vienna by publishing, playing the piano and having an opera performed in 1782 (the first one you saw in the movie)
Mozart • Composed 15 piano concertos (composition for an orchestra and soloist) by 1786 • Served as composer and soloist in his works • Final compositions included Clarinet Concerto and pieces for his Masonic lodge • Unable to finish his Requiem • Possible causes of death – Flu, Mercury poisoning (medicine), Kidney illness, Rheumatic fever • Buried in a Vienna suburb with little ceremony and in an unmarked grave (even the second one he was buried in)
Haydn • Trained as a choirboy and taken to St. Stephen’s Cathedral, Vienna, in mid 1700’s • Became freelance musician and accompanyist • Played violin and keyboard • Wrote sacred music, music for theatre comedies, and chamber music • Seen as the “father of the symphony and string quartet” – did not originate them • At his funeral in 1809 Mozart’s Requiem was performed
Beethoven • Exact date of birth unknown (likely 12/16/1770) • Father gave instruction in piano, violin, and viola • First public concert was on March 26, 1778 at age 7 (same day as his death 49 years later) • 1802 – found out his impaired hearing was incurable and would worsen
Beethoven • Became very productive despite hearing impairment • Aristocracy of Vienna supported him generously and were tolerant of his rude & insensitive manners, careless appearance, and towering rages • From end of 1790’s, he was no longer dependent on patronage for income • Sometimes took several years to refine an idea before satisfied
Beethoven • Ideas usually written in sketchbooks which he constantly carried • Death in 1827 – said that 10,000 people were at his funeral • Became public figure before death – unlike any musicians before • Bridged classical of Mozart and Haydn with Romantic period that followed
