Neoclassicism is a term used to describe music that hearkens back to older forms but with modern tonal language. Stravinsky's neoclassicism, with such works as Pulcinella and the Dumbarton Oaks Concerto, was the longest stylistic period of his career. Ravel took part in it with his Pavane For a Dead Princess, the Tombeau de Couperin, and other pieces, Manuel de Falla with his Harpsichord Concerto, and Samuel Barber with his Capricorn Concerto. The high point of neoclassicism began roughly at the end of World War I, and it was influential through much of the 20th century.

Is clasical music rubbish?

Heck no! Classical rocks. Classical composers created the chords that bands use today, even though most bands only use four or five of the many chords that composers used. Not a lot of people, especially ones my age, share this opinion, but I think they should. Classical music in itself has many genres and is a joy to listen to when you need to calm down or get pumped up.

Why is this time called the Romantic Age?

Music, literature and the arts are constantly changing, and evolving form. You see this constant change around us in everything - fashion, TV show genres, food fads and, of course, popular music. Whilst the Romantic era had brought in new changes, composers, writers, artists, etc, were seeking new ways to express themselves. It was the natural evolution of form as tastes changed. Particularly in regard to music and composition, Debussy paved the way for the Impressionistic era, a time when musical form was less clearly defined, and a time when musicians and composers could experiment more with sounds and harmonies. Debussy's influence made a significant contribution to the transition from the Romantic era.

What contribution to symphonic music did Mozart make?

Mozart so refined what we now call classical music that he is practically without peer. Although many other composers before and after Mozart wrote beautiful, elegant music, few are so well known, with music so popular and beautiful. More than a master of symphonies, Mozart created beautiful operas, concertos, and divertimentos to name but a few of his works. Moreover, composers who lived after Mozart have widely copied and expanded on his originality and elegance, which was begun at the tender age of around four.
