[Classical Music] A carefully curated selection of masterpieces born in the pivotal era that bridged the Baroque and Romantic periods

The “Classical era,” in which composers of the Viennese Classical school—centered on Haydn, Beethoven, and Mozart—were active.

Composing in homophony, with melody supported by accompaniment, became mainstream, and musical forms and genres such as sonata form, the symphony, concerto, string quartet, and piano sonata were established.

It is an indispensable period when discussing the history of classical music.

In this article, we introduce particularly famous pieces and works considered historically important from among the music born in that Classical era.
