Definately not! The differences are many. The number of people very nearly doubled from Mozart to Beethoven. The power became immense and very ample.
no
Beethoven straddled the Classical and Romantic periods. His earlier works were firmly rooted in the Classical tradition, but as he continued to expand the size of the orchestra, the harmonic demands on the ear, the dynamic range, more and more emotional content the Romantic ideals were developed.
False, it increased!
The orchestra saw a complete upheaval in the Classical period. Here are what I think would be the three most important: Firstly, conductors got off their harpsichords and began conducting in the modern style with a stick. Before that, they simply outlined the tune and held the timing together with a continuo. Next, the instrumentation changed. Recorders fell out of use, being replaced by the modern transverse flute. Clarinets were also first introduced to the orchestra in this time. Finally, the locations and sizes of orchestra began to change. They moved out of courts and private locations where they were restricted in size and grew into much larger orchestras, suited for opera houses and concert halls.
In classical music, a chamber orchestra. In jazz music, a big band. Groups of that size are also used in shows and as backing for jazz and pop singers.

either a group of classical musicians or an orchestra depending on size and instruments

I believe the most single difference between the two is the size. In many instances, a city, etc will board two groups usually made up of many of the same number. In the "old": days because of economical constraints, the smaller group was thought to play somewhat lighter classics, [and] probably would not attempt "The Ting" (Wagner, Beethoven's 9th.) Today I think probably the line is more vague, or perhaps on (the smaller) would perhaps more light classical, if not downright parochial. {one amateurish explanation!} Different answer than from above: It's pretty simple, the classical orchestra was the orchestra during the classical period, i.e the later 1700s, the time of Mozart, Haydn and the like. The orchestras consisted of strings, simple brass instruments like the the natural trumpet and the slide trombone, clarinets, flutes, bassoon sometimes. The percussion section was pretty much just Timpani. As time has moved on the orchestra has had things added. The horn in the 1800s, various percussion instruments etc. What you have to remember was that the strings during the classical period were the main orchestra and the winds were there for colour, whereas when we move on to the romantic period colour became much more important and in a lot of modern music, tone colour and sound is more important than melody and harmony in the classical sense.
Phonic spelling of orchestra. A symphony orchestra is a large instrumental group consisting of string, brass, woodwind, and percussion instruments. A chamber orchestra is half the size but contains the same 4 types of instruments.
Quarks are considered to be fundamental particles, and as such they do not really have a classical "size". Their masses can be compared, however, and they are not the same for all types of quarks.
A full-size orchestra consists of about one hundred musicians, who play instruments in the string, brass, woodwind, and percussion sections. There are also chamber orchestras, which are smaller and consist of fifty musicians or fewer.
It varies depending on the size of the orchestra. The sound must be balanced.
That size range fits a chamber orchestra.
