Classical Music
Classical music has a lighter, clearer texture than 
Baroque   and is less complex. It is mainly homophonic, using a clear melody line over a subordinate chordal accompaniment but counterpoint was by no means forgotten, especially later in the period. It also makes use of style galant which emphasized light elegance in place of the Baroque's dignified seriousness and impressive grandeur. Variety and contrast within a piece became more pronounced than before and the orchestra increased in size, range, and power.
