Is Beethoven the first classical musician?

No. Μonophonic and polyfonic styles of music -like gregorian hymns,organoum, discantous- were the first types of music(dating back to 7th-9th century). Soon the barok writers took over and eventually after the 17th-18th century classical music came up, followed by the romantic century and then the contemporary.


When did composers start using dynamics?

in the 17th century


What is a 17th-century solo vocal piece of music called?

FalseIt could be an aria, a cantata, a song.Searching on the word suite doesn't bring up anything vocal. In the 17th century a suite was a set of interrelated pieces for a solo instrument or an orchestra. Bach wrote suites for cello, for violin, for keyboard and for orchestra. A suite could also be a selection of pieces from a larger work, like Handel's Water Music Suite, made of pieces from a large set he wrote to be played as his King's barge floated down the Thames, or his Suite from the Music For The Royal Fireworks.


When did composers start marking their scores with instructions about dynamics?

It was around the 17th century when composers started marking their scores with instructions about dynamics. It was during the Baroque period.


What is the musical form of a Prelude?

It all depends on where and when. If you're in early 17th century Germany, then your prelude is a lot like toccata form - fast, virtuosic runs of arpeggios and things. Lengthy in time and carrying many elements of the fugue. If you're in 17th century France, then your whole form is pretty free and improvisational. A prelude is a strange and wonderful form of music with multiple purposes and functions. I hope somebody can answer this more adequately for you, but I hope this will suffice for now!
