USC Wk 6 French Revolution and The American Revolution Discussion

 

I’m trying to study for my Writing course and I need some help to understand this question.

Describe the political events and sociological factors that made the Classical Period such a time of violent upheaval. This is also referred to as “The Age of Enlightenment”. How did this relate to the music of that time?  (The Classical Period included the time of the French Revolution and the American Revolution, so there were a whole lot of political complications going on during the period).  Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven were some of the well-known, and remembered, composers of that period. As always, this work should contain at least 150 words, be properly cited at the bottom,  and is due no later than Sunday, September 26th  by 11:59 PM.

Think about this: The music of the Classical Period was beautiful, even and balanced for the most part. Isn’t it odd that such classic beauty can come out of a time of total chaos? The human mind and creative spirit is a very unique thing. People have a way of controlling what they can of their surroundings when situations seem to reel out of control. I do believe that is what was happening during the Classical period.
