The 18th century was called the Baroque period, and Vienna was a Baroque city. But in his case, he wrote music in that era and in the classical period also. Two eras, one composer.
The Classical era
Beethoven's music changed throughout his career. There were three periods to his compositions; the early period, the middle period, and the romantic period. During the early period, he learned the classical style of music, and his pieces during this time (in Bonn) reflect this. When he went to Vienna, his compositions began to become more original. In the Middle period, his compositions brought out the bass parts to make his music feel dark. The Romantic period came about because of Beethoven. He filled the gap between the Classical era and the Romantic era. His work was known as the "radical departure from the past."
Beethoven began composing during the latter part of the Classical period, and he provided the transition into the early phase of the Romantic period.
