Now, that’s enough about piano, you came to learn about guitar. As dynamics, emotion and color became a larger part of the picture, the harpsichord became obsolete. The harpsichord, however, would pluck the strings with quills and this would result in a bright and tinny sound from the instrument. This allows for the musician to play the notes of the piano louder and softer at will creating more expression. The main factor that makes the piano a better instrument than the harpsichord for musicians and composers alike is all in the hammers that strike the strings when a key on the piano is pressed. (Elements such as the instruments, dynamics, pitch, key, color and timbre.)Īs mentioned before, the harpsichord used to be the main instrument, but was ultimately replaced by the piano in this era. You’ll find that the music is more focused on beauty, elegance, and balance - and furthermore the elements are more varied and contrasting. Different from the Baroque era, or the Renaissance era, Classical music is more homophonic - which means that the instruments accompanying the melody are in the same rhythm as the melody.

In this context, when we say Classical, what we’re actually referring to is the era in which the music was written and when these composers were alive.
