Essay Questions

1. How can you identify a Classical period piece by listening? Choose one of the pieces from chapter 12 and use it as an example of the features you focus on to identify the style as Classical.

2. Classical music is related to the ideas of the Enlightenment, but chapter 12 doesn't stress this connection. In one paragraph, explain what the Enlightenment was. In the second paragraph, identify several ways in which music was affected by Enlightenment ideas. (The first chapter in the Classical music section of the textbook by Joseph Kerman, Listen, which is on reserve in the Music Library for another section of Music 190, explains the Enlightenment clearly.)

3. Compare one Baroque piece we've studied and one Classical piece we've studied on the basis of 1) what people in that time period thought the purpose of music was; and 2) how the music sounds.
