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."
