Not all young folks spurn the classical period! I've never heard a Mozart piano concerto I didn't like, and I also love his symphonies and Haydn's piano sonatas. There is structure to classical music that is simply beautiful. In especial, I love Mozart's 25th symphony and Haydn's piano sonata #37 in D.
That's why I said "most people my age don't care for it as much" 😅 I didn't say all young folks dislike this period. I love the Mozart piano concertos myself! And yes, structure is the name of the game in this period. Just reporting on a trend I've noticed.
13:00 - Yes, in analogy, if we play Renaissance lute music straight from the tablature, we get nothing at all like what was played in the day! The tablature was largely a template that the performer was expected to improvise upon. It was not nearly as much so in the Classical period, but there was a lot more … “audience participation” … in the late-1700s than nowadays. If the audience loved a certain aria, they’d “hoot and holler” for her to sing it again, often with more ornamentation and general excitement (more or less the tradition of “da capo aria.” The idea that music has to be performed identically every time, exactly as noted, is more a product of the Romantic Era.
I think a great intro to the classical period is Beethoven, since he straddles both classical and romantic periods. My introduction to it was his 5th Symphony.
I loved that choral and orchestra piece “And the Spirit of God Moved” (8:50) but I can’t find it anywhere. Do you know where I can listen to the full piece?
This period may be short, but it's incredibly consequential.
Thanks for these great videos. They are so well structured, convey a lot of meaningful context and are still simple enough to keep it comprehensible.
Thank you!

This channel is gold
Franz Schubert is also a classical era composer
So much advancements during this period! I like what your dad said, wants to hum the tune :) fun!
I like what you did with the shirts in this series.
Rumour has it that you are funded by Big Classical!
LOL, if only

Mine was the 9th, and there are also a list of brilliant symphonies number from 1 to 9.❤
@@lily08799 I agree!

Yup, you can find a recording here: amzn.to/3szzhh9
I love (hate) how Mozart's Lachrymosa = megalomania to film/TV producers.
LOL, It's E V E R Y W H E R E !
When I think classical music, I think Baywatch.
13:00 where can i listen to this one?? who played this ??
You didn't tell who played the " bad" and "good" mozart sonata.
Go back and listen 15 seconds before, and then read the commentary I put on the screen just below the score.
