Classical Music

1750-1810

Diatonic music:
Music that only uses notes of the key-no clashy sounds

Concerto:
A concerto is a musical work usually composed in three parts or movements, in which (usually) one solo instrument, for instance, a piano, violin, cello or flute, is accompanied by an orchestra.
Symphony:
A symphony is an extended musical piece in Western classical music, written almost always for orchestra. Split int chunks called movements
1st movement: Sonata form
2nd movement: contrasting key to first movement & slower, stronger melody line
3rd movement: more light hearted, livelier and in rondo form

Even phrases:
Regular chunks of music as if separated by commas

  1. Well done, Charlie - looks much better! In your definition of diatonic music, it should say 'no clashy sounds' - please would you tweak it! Good to see musical examples too!
