Question

The term "Classical" implies symmetry of form, as in a row of columns on the façade of a Classical-era building such as the U.S. Capitol. However, in music of the Classical era, such rigid conformity did not always suppress the expression of lively human emotions. Three of the following statements describe various means by which vibrant human emotions are expressed in Classical music; one of them is BOGUS. Which is it?

Answer 1

Answer:

A set of short piano pieces for young ladies could be published simultaneously in Vienna, Berlin, London, and Paris. The composer would make each set different -- Austrian style, German style, English style, French style -- to suit the particular audience, while keeping the same balanced phrasing and simple harmony in all of them.

Explanation:

This is not an accurate description of how vibrant human emotions are expressed in Classical music. In these lines, the author describes a way in which composer wrote music that was specifically made for a particular audience, while keeping the same basic ideas in all of them. This does not accuratel represent the extreme variety and intensity of usual Classical music.
