What kind of music did Beethoven compose?

Answer 1

Beethoven initially wrote in the Classical period, but provided the transition to the Romantic period.

The genres of music Beethoven composed were mainly piano sonatas, piano concertos and symphonies, along with other ensemble instrumental music such as trios and quartets, songs (lieder) and one Opera.

Answer 2

Beethoven bridged the transition from Classical to Romantic music.

In Beethoven's "Early" composing phase, he wrote in the structured style of Haydn and Mozart, both of whom were his mentor at some stage. Beethoven sought to copy their styles, but he did it with a touch of a perfect balance between dynamics and harmony to create his early style. The style was lighter, less complex and more elegant than later in his composing career. This was when he wrote his first two symphonies, the first six string quartets, the first two piano concertos, and the first twenty piano sonatas.

Beethoven was just starting to experience deafness when he began his "Middle" period of composing. At this time, his music was grander and more passionate, tending towards large-scale works which expressed heroism and struggle. This time included symphonies number 3 to 8, the last three piano concertos and his only violin concerto, five string quartets (Nos. 7 - 11), many piano sonatas, and his only opera, Fidelio. This time could be considered the transition to the Romantic era of music.

The "Late" period of Beethoven's career occurred in the final eleven years of his life. His work in this stage was freer and more emotional, as Beethoven expressed himself more personally in depth and intensity. Beethoven would use a huge range of dynamics, from very, very soft to very, very loud. Historians believe this transition was a result of his deafness. Music from this period included fast, loud scurryings, large chords, diminished sevenths used frequently in harmony, and virtuoso techniques, especially in Beethoven's piano sonatas. This period includes the Ninth Symphony, the "Choral", the Missa Solemnis, the last six string quartets and the last five piano sonatas.

Answer 4

Beethoven composed "works" or "pieces." The Beatles sing "songs" ... the orchestra plays "works" or "pieces", not songs.

Beethoven did, in fact, write songs; in fact, he wrote around 80 songs, actually known as "lieder", with piano. These were sensitive pieces, highlighting his truly emotional side. In many ways, some of these songs are seen as almost autobiographical, telling of similar events in Beethoven's own life.

He was also known for writing around the same number of Volkslieder, or folk songs.
