This usually means a barre, with the roman numeral indicating which fret.
So Ciii indicates a barre on the third fret - hold down all strings with the first finger.
CVIII would indicate the 8th fret.
Sometimes you might see 1/2CIII which would mean a partial bar - holding down only a few of the strings.
Figured bass was basically a chord chart (also indicating the inversion ) in the Baroque period and musicians improvised upon those charts much like jazz players do today using modern chord chart notation. It was during the later classical period that composers started writing music down in an exact manner and expected musicians to play exactly note by note. Also, figured bass is similar to the Nashville number system. I is the tonic and V is the dominant.....et cetera.
Generally, it's a I (tonic) chord but this doesn't always have to be the case, especially in more modern music.
the notes of a chord are played at the SAME time
It is a classical music!!
Its a Bach Cello suite. I think its 5 allemande, but it could be a courante. 4/12/2011 - This music is not Bach. Bach never used chord progressions like these, nor did anyone in the Baroque era of classical music. It's 20th century or later, and I'd love to know the composer...

The first, third, fifth, and seventh note derived from the C major scale, so: C-E-G-B for a major seventh chord (Cmaj7) and the seventh note flattened to Bb or B flat in the C7 chord commonly used in pop/blues as a final chord but in most Classical Music to be resolved in F.

Classical music didn't come from the United States. Classical music was formulated in Europe.
Chord
A chord that is tonic is the 1 or I chord of the music that you are playing. It is the key of the music that you are playing. If the tonic is C major then you would be playing in the key of C major and dominant or 5 chord would be G major.
No, opera is considered classical music.
it didn't impact classical music at all.
