The music of the Classical Period (1750 A.D. to 1830
A.D.) looked to the art and philosophy of Ancient Greece and Rome, to the ideals
of balance, proportion and disciplined expression. It has a lighter, clearer and
considerably simpler texture, and tended to be almost voicelike and singable.
New genres were discovered. The main style was the homophony, where prominent melody and accompaniment are clearly distinct.
