Best Answer

Let's see...Beethoven was born during the Classical period, and died during the period he largely created (the Romantic era). It's not him. Early Classical era masters CPE Bach and Gluck were born during the Baroque period and died during the Classical period. It's not them either. Mozart was born during the Classical era in which he died, which is not really living through the whole Classical era.

Haydn, on the other hand, was born in 1732, when the beginnings of the Classical era emerged, though contemporary Classical Music was still largely Baroque. Haydn lived a long life and died in 1809, during a time when the late Classical period and the early Romantic period (represented at that time by composers such as Beethoven, Paganini, and Weber) overlapped.

So I guess Joseph Haydn is the closest answer out there.

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.

Who were some artist during the classical period?

Now you stated "Classical Period" so I'm making the distinction as the era between Baroque and Romantic. There were mainly 3 influential ones. These composers made up the 1st Viennese School. They are: Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. Schubert is questionable when it comes to his true nature of Romantic vs Classical therefore I am omitting him. The members of the Manheim school were also very influential during this timeIf you are refering to Classical music in general, the most famous composers are J.S. Bach, Vivaldi, Monteverdi, Mozart, Beethoven, Debussy and Chopin
