Why did the classical period composers and artists choose a more simplistic style?
Music of the Classical period is simpler only by comparison to later periods. It was in fact more developed and complex, especially in the later music of Haydn and Mozart, than anything that had come before. Earlier music tended to be written more for royal courts and upper-class salons. Classical period music was less contrapuntal, perhaps, than Baroque music had tended to be, only because that music had fallen so much out of favor, but even in that regard late Classical period music at least equaled that of the Baroque, because the example of Bach's contrapuntal mastery was studied by Classical composers. Mozart's later music reflects this study of Bach, especially in Mozart's choral works, such as the Laudate Pueri from his Solemn Vespers, K. 339.
What city was considered the center of music in the classical period?
Vienna, Austria. The Classical Era in its strictest sense is even referred to as Wiener Klassik (Viennese Classical) in German, especially when distinguishing it from the Baroque Era (eg. Vivaldi, Handel, Bach) which preceded it, and the Romantic Era (eg. Brahms, Schubert, Liszt, Wagner), which followed. The majority of the great classical composers, such as J. F. Haydn, W. A. Mozart and Ludwig van Beethoven among others spent significant parts of their careers in Vienna.
