What city was considered the center of music in the classical period?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

In the middle of the 18th century, Europe began to move toward a new style in architecture, literature, and the arts, generally known as Classicism, which sought to emulate the ideals of Classical antiquity and especially those of Classical Greece. Classical Music has a lighter, clearer texture than Baroque music and is less complex. It is mainly homophonic melody above chordal accompaniment. The Baroque period culminated in the masterpieces of J.S. Bach and G.F. Handel. In the middle of the eighteenth century, contemporaneous with the mature years of Bach and Handel, a new musical style developed that is known as Rococo or preclassical style. This style is most evident in keyboard and orchestral music, but it is mentioned here because it represented a transition from the Baroque to the Classical era, occurring between 1725 and 1770. The music of the Classical era is characterized by objectivity and most Europe was moved by the classical period a not a single city.
