The classical era is defined by a return to symmetry and simplicity not only in music, but also in architecture and fine art. Historians mark the death of J.S. Bach in 1750 as the end of the Baroque era and the dawn of the Classical era but There is less consensus on when it ended. Some consider the death of Beethoven in 1827 to be the boundary line whilst others cite 1800 as the beginning of the Romantic era.

Talking about music from the Classical Era, it was predominantly homophonic. Also the music was mostly instrumental.
