What is bebop?

Bebop is a style of jazz music popularized in the mid-1940s. It is characterized by complex melodies, fast tempos, and improvisation using modified classical scales.


Which composer wrote music that served as the high point of the classical period?

Most music scholars would scoff at such a question. The classical period is far too complex to be distilled into categories of best and worst. In terms of the Classical Period, Mozart and Beethoven are regarded as the best of the best, yet take that with a grain of salt for there is no true best.In terms of the overall Classical music, J.S. Bach is a true unparalelled composer who we have never seen since and will likely never see again. Hats off to Bach. In my mind, he is the greatest composer who ever lived and the pinnacle of Classical music entirely.


What is the most complex classical piece?

Bagpipes. You have to learn the complex fingering. You have to learn breath control. You must learn how to manipulate the bag. And you must go completely deaf so ye can stand to be around bagpipes, laddie.


Why did the classical period composers and artists choose a more simplistic style?

Music of the Classical period is simpler only by comparison to later periods. It was in fact more developed and complex, especially in the later music of Haydn and Mozart, than anything that had come before. Earlier music tended to be written more for royal courts and upper-class salons. Classical period music was less contrapuntal, perhaps, than Baroque music had tended to be, only because that music had fallen so much out of favor, but even in that regard late Classical period music at least equaled that of the Baroque, because the example of Bach's contrapuntal mastery was studied by Classical composers. Mozart's later music reflects this study of Bach, especially in Mozart's choral works, such as the Laudate Pueri from his Solemn Vespers, K. 339.


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

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.
