Period 1750 - 1830

The Classical period, between the Baroque and Romantic periods, was short, running from around 1750-1830. It was the golden age of instrumental music, in particular thanks to the invention of the piano. Classical composers were focused on harmony, elegance, rigour and lightness. New musical groups were formed during this period: a good example is the string quartet, mainly thanks to Joseph Haydn.
