Choose one of the composers discussed in the lesson and listen to some of his work. which pieces did you listen to? how would you describe these pieces of music? what makes the music characteristic of the classical era?

I chose Joseph Haydn, and Ludwig von Beethoven. Joseph Haydn's Sonata Hob. XVI No. 27 felt like a girl skipping down the road all cheerfully in her own bubble. The piece of music seems classical in a sense that the way the piano is being played, it wouldn't be something that would be created now. It's different from to date music because nowadays music is mostly electronically made, this was just piano, a music sheet, and a person. It gives off the classical vibe you would listen to inside a theater. I think this piece is about being yourself and the only opinion that matters is your own about your life.
