Perhaps no one has yet been able to accurately formulate what classical music is in today's sense. Some say it's just serious music. The fact is that there is no single criterion. After all, the word "classic" comes from the Latin "classicus", which means "exemplary". So it turns out: what music is exemplary for you, that is classical for you. For one classic - the works of the romantic composer Frederic Chopin, and for another, the classics are the work of the Beatles. But musicologists usually narrow the scope of the concept of "classical music". Classical musical period is traditionally considered the era of classicism - a fairly short period of time between 1750 and 1830. In the era of classicism, the works of art of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome were considered role models, therefore, in music, especially in opera, as well as in literature and painting, works created on the basis of ancient Greek and ancient Roman subjects often appeared. The first operas of the era of classicism were the works of Christoph Willibald Gluck. But the peak of the music of this period was the work of Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig van Beethoven, who lived and worked in Vienna and greatly influenced the entire musical culture of the second half of the XNUMXth - early XNUMXth centuries. These great musicians created an artistic direction in music called the "Viennese Classical School". The art of the Viennese classics is associated with enlightenment, inspired by the ideas of G. E. Lessing, J. W. Goethe, F. Schiller, I. Kant, G. Hegel. The musical work of the Viennese school is characterized by a combination of the tragic and the comic, the rational and the emotional.
