Were brass instruments used in the classical orchestra?
Yes. There would often be two horns and two trumpets. Trombones were added in the late Classical period. The tuba wasn't invented until the 1840s, well into the Romantic era.
What music time period did Beethoven live in?
Beethoven began composing music during the Classical era. However, he experimented with greater variety of dynamics, more complex harmonies, the expression of emotion and with extending instruments beyond their previous boundaries, thus ushering in the Romantic Era. Beethoven is regarded as the bridging composer between Classical and Romantic, and he is best known for his Romantic works.
What is the difference between a jazz orchestra and a classical orchestra?
I believe the most single difference between the two is the size. In many instances, a city, etc will board two groups usually made up of many of the same number. In the "old": days because of economical constraints, the smaller group was thought to play somewhat lighter classics, [and] probably would not attempt "The Ting" (Wagner, Beethoven's 9th.) Today I think probably the line is more vague, or perhaps on (the smaller) would perhaps more light classical, if not downright parochial. {one amateurish explanation!} Different answer than from above: It's pretty simple, the classical orchestra was the orchestra during the classical period, i.e the later 1700s, the time of Mozart, Haydn and the like. The orchestras consisted of strings, simple brass instruments like the the natural trumpet and the slide trombone, clarinets, flutes, bassoon sometimes. The percussion section was pretty much just Timpani. As time has moved on the orchestra has had things added. The horn in the 1800s, various percussion instruments etc. What you have to remember was that the strings during the classical period were the main orchestra and the winds were there for colour, whereas when we move on to the romantic period colour became much more important and in a lot of modern music, tone colour and sound is more important than melody and harmony in the classical sense.
Which two famous composers from the Baroque period were still successful during the pre-Classical period?
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).
Which musical era is Beethoven's music from?
The 18th century was called the Baroque period, and Vienna was a Baroque city. But in his case, he wrote music in that era and in the classical period also. Two eras, one composer.

Which period of history was greatly inflenced by classical greek and roman works?
The two peak periods were the renaissance of the 15th and 16th centuries and the neo-classical period of the 18th and 19th century.
Did the classical masters establish the style of the present orchestra?
Yes and no. The classical composers standardised many of the elements of the modern orchestra, such as having a general string section, and two parts for flutes, oboes, clarinets, bassoons, horns and trumpets. Beethoven introduced the trombone as an instrument for non-sacred works for the first time. However, the Romantic composers then added both different instruments (often percussion, or country-specific), and usually had larger orchestras (more string players, four or more horns, etc.) The basic formation was established in the Classical period though.
What is Renaissance consort?
A consort is a group of instruments playing together. There are two types of consorts: a) whole consort, which consists of instruments all from the same family, and b) broken consort, which has instruments from more than one family. A renaissance consort would likely be a consort playing music from the renaissance period, with instruments that date back to that period.
