Explain briefly why Classical era composers did not feel restricted by the rules of music composition.

Answer 1

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Classical era of music, which occurs between 1775 to 1825, was characterized by its nature of music composition and intended listener. Unlike the Renaissance or Baroque's era of music, classical music is considered not to be parochial but universal in spirit and in style. The music at this era is also characterized by its complex nature but clearer and more explicit which was shown through the composers in the tempo, dynamics, and expressive qualities of the Music under consideration.

Aside being performed in Churches and Courts, Classical music was also performed for the secular purpose; for the enjoyment of the public and this is the first time in music era.

Classical music era was dominated by the trio of Franz Joseph Haydn (1732-1809), Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791), and Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) whom are considered to be the great composers of that period.

Answer 2

Classical era composers did not feel restricted by the rules of music composition hence in Classical music, it does not need that one must need to study music to appreciate a song and even studying a song would probably not increase one’s appreciation of it very much. In fact, a classical music is inherently more challenging, that elements cannot be grasped or appreciated without careful attention. Hence, the music in the classical period reflected the changes occurring in the society in which the music was being written and that music should be written for the enjoyment and entertainment of the common person.
