Beethoven
...Romantic Period of classical music.
In the classical period of Western music, the late eighteenth century, composers were commissioned by patrons, the owners of orchestras: essentially the church, the nobility, and the opera houses. Beethoven was able to earn enough from publications and public concerts to break out of the patronage relationship, though he was not the first; Marenzio in the sixteenth century and Telemann in the early eighteenth were notable earners, and travelling performer-composers could always have some independence.
Beethoven considered himself outside the bounds of the patronage system.
C) The Romantic Period
The period in which composers like Domenico Scarlatti and Baldassare Galuppi were active.

C) The Romantic Period
The sonata is a musical form which achieved formal development during the Classical period. As such, composers continue to this day using that form. A very few names of composers who wrote in that form are Mozart, Beethoven and Haydn (during the Classical period - 1750-1810) and later during the Romantic period - Brahms, and during the 20th century, Paul Hindemith.
The period in which composers like Domenico Scarlatti and Baldassare Galuppi were active.
The modern orchestra was first introduced during the classical period. Classical composers developed the genres of symphony and classical concerto (solo instrument and orchestra). Among the pioneer classical composers stand F. J. Haydn and W. A. Mozart.
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) and George Frederic Handel (1685-1759) were popular composers during the very late Baroque and during the early "pre-classical" or Rococo Period (c.1730 to 1760).
Neoclassicism After the Baroque period came the Classical period, which included Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, who became a bridge to the Romantic period. In the beginning of the 20th century some composers consciously adopted styles and techniques from the Classical period. This looking-back was called neoclassicism, or new classicism.
