→Classical era
The Classical period occurred at a time of a rising [[middle class]] and intellectual enlightenment, and ended in the flames of the [[French Revolution]]. Music was no longer just purview of the [[nobility]] and the church. With the rise of the publishing business common people began to engage in amateur music making for an evenings entertainment after a meal, and affordable theatre tickets helped insure that music was no longer just the past time of the idle rich. What's more, music making, music education, the theatre, and the publishing business meant jobs.

The enlightened thinkers of the classical period rejected much of what culture of what had gone on in the immediate period before, but not all. From the Baroque era [[Franz Joseph Hadyn]] and [[Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart]] constructed [[sonata form]], the structure of Classical music, which survived well into the Romantic era, despite sometimes seeming old fashioned or against the revolutionary precepts of Romanticism.

Another is the classical age's strict meter - the [[metronome]] was invented in this timeframe to teach music students to observe strict meter.
