Answer 1

Answer:

Assortment and differentiation inside a piece turned out to be more articulated than previously. Assortment of keys, songs, rhythms and elements (utilizing crescendo,diminuendo and sforzando), alongside regular changes of temperament and tone were more typical in the classical time frame than they had been in the baroque. Tunes would in general be shorter than those of baroque music, with obvious expressions and plainly stamped rhythms. The ensemble expanded in size and range; the harpsichord continuo dropped out of utilization, and the woodwind turned into an independent segment. As a performance instrument, the harpsichord was supplanted by the piano (or fortepiano). Early piano music was light in surface, regularly with Alberti bass backup, yet it later got more extravagant, more resonating and all the more impressive.
