What musical periods came first in the chronologtic order?

Answer 1

Musical Periods?

Well there's the baroque period from 1600-1750

Then there's the classical period from 1750-1820

and then there's the romantic period from 1820-1913

and then theres the 20th century music from 1913-present time.

Baroque music primarily consisted of "notey" music. Mostly fugues and concerto-grosso's. Main composers of the time: J.S. Bach, Antonio Vivaldi, Claudio Monteverdi, George Frideric Handel. Famous pieces from this period: Toccata and Fugue by Bach, The Four Seasons by Vivaldi, and Cello Suite #1 Prelude by Bach, and the oratorio Messiah by Handel

Classical Music finally introduced the symphony and most importantly, sonata form. They were mostly happy tunes for parties and dances. String quartets were also very big in this period and publishing music and selling it for profit was a very big factor in the classical era. Main composers of the time: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Joseph Haydn, and VERY early Beethoven. Famous pieces from this period: Eine Kleine Nachtmusik by Mozart, Symphony #40, #25 by Mozart.

Romantic music was said to had been introduced by Beethoven through his Second Symphony, Eroica (a symphony dedicated to the powerful French dictator, Napoleon Bonaparte). His very strong dynamic changes and sudden changes of key are the epitome of what romantic music is. They primarily break down the huge romantic period down into three small sections: early romantic, middle romantic, late romantic; each one with its very great pieces.

Romantic composers: Late Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt, Wagner, Saint-Saens, Tchaikovsky, Dvorak, Mahler, and Rachmaninoff.

Romantic pieces: Nocturne #2 by Chopin, 1882 Overture by Tchaikovsky, Le Carnivale des Animeaux by Saint Saens, Symphony #9 by Dvorak, Des Ring de Nieublegen by Wagner, Piano Concerto #2 by Rachmaninoff (second movement).

20th century music has many different types of styles such as primitivism, neo-classicism, "chance" music, and minimalism. There are many styles and even more ways of composing. They say that the "big bang" of 20th century music came from Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring. It's primitive tone shocked audiences and even inspired others.

Key composers: Stravinksy, Copland, Glass

Key Pieces: Rite of Spring by Stravinsky, Fanfare for the Common Man by Copland, Glasspieces by Glass.
