Document Summary

First music to thrive long after its time. Natural art: goal to make it look like it came naturally when you actually put a lot of work into it. String quartet, symphony, and concerto emerged as preferred genre. Instruments started to be mass produced and more uniform in sound. Marseilles and chester were unofficial anthems in france and the us. Haydn and mozart succeeded outside church and royal courts. More realistic opera plots and characters (mozart and opera buffa->italian term for funny/light opera, music theatre-> sound of music) Timbre: listen to how the sounds of the four instruments blend together and stand apart. Their sound quality is similar in different registers. Texture: notice how the melody always appears in one instrument while the other three move around it. Melody: listen for the pauses that break the melody into sections known as phrases, some of which sound like endings. Form: listen for the way the melody is presented with.
