Which of these terms is a synonym for the pre-Classical period of music?

Answer 1

Often, people describe the Classical period of music as being heavily Romantic. However, the Romance period was after the Classical period. Classical is usually just referred to as Classical.

Answer 2

Rococo is the pre-classical period.

Answer 3

Dividing music into historical periods is difficult, largely because most of the period names were assigned after the music had gone out of fashion. No Classical composer knew he was writing Classical Music.

The textbook answer that the Baroque period came just before the Classical period isn't very satisfactory, especially in the books that hold up J. S. Bach as the pinnacle of Baroque music. In fact, he was considered hopelessly old-fashioned in his own life time.

Music from Bach's time that isn't exactly Baroque any more but does not have all the characteristics as the Classical triumvirate of Hadyn, Mozart, and Beethoven is known by several names, which are not synonymous. "Rococco" or "style galant" refers mostly to developments in France; "emfindsamer Stil" refers to developments in Protestant Germany. Plenty of the music that seems transitional now doesn't go by any catchy label at all.

Answer 4

The classical period of music began with the Baroque era, which lasted from 1600 to 1750, and ended with the Romantic period, which lasted from approximately 1790 to 1910. It is also known as the Viennese classical era, mostly due to the very famous composers Mozart and Haydn, who lived in Vienna.

Answer 5

The Baroque period immediately preceded the Classical period.

Answer 6

Rococo is the pre-classical period.

Answer 7

rococo

Answer 8

A style of music
