Classical music schools and their representatives

1, Baroque Music School: The development of Baroque music had an important influence on classical music, and the music in this period was mainly polyphonic music, which was gorgeous and complicated. Although baroque music broke through the complete order and pure expression of religious music and became richer, in the whole development of classical music, the music of this period was still influenced by many religious music, revealing a rigorous atmosphere.

If the Renaissance (and later the classical era) represented an orderly and clear performance, then the Baroque era (and later the romantic era) represented turmoil, anxiety and doubt.

Representative figures: Handel, Vivaldi, Bach, purcell, scarlatti, Tatini, Pegolesi, etc.

2. Classical school: The music of this period inherited the achievements of traditional European polyphony and melody music, and established important musical forms such as sonata, concerto and symphony. Chamber music also developed during this period, which played a very important role in the development of music later. The music in the classical period was relatively rigorous, inherited the rationality of the Baroque era, but more integrated with people's emotions, realizing the unity of the two.

Representative figures: Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, etc.

3. Romanticism: The music forms in this period are more abundant, which is the period closest to modern times at the peak of classical art, and most of the most acceptable classical music now comes from this period. Romantic music pays more attention to the expression of people's spiritual realm and subjective feelings, showing more prominent natural scenery, and using folk music more frequently, which can be said to be truly popular, and paying more attention to and frequently using folk music in creation.

Representative figures: Paganini, Rossini, Donizetti, Verdi, Weber, Mayabel, Chopin, Liszt, etc.
