Question
when was classical music most popular (the years)?
and you know in the vivaldi 'the four seasons' does he use the harpsichord as well as violin/viola/cello/double base?
thank you very much.
1. This is something you can find on your own. Start with Wikipedia. Or do you mean the Classical Period in Music (Mozart, Haydn, Diabelli)? If so, still start with Wikipedia.
2. As to the Vivaldi, go to Amazon and find this piece. Listen to the short sample. (You have misspelled =bass=. I know it sounds like =baseball=, but it's from the Italian word for low (=bassa=).
Good luck! You can do this.

I have a PhD in musicology, with expertise in medieval - Renaissance - Baroque - Classical periods, but I'll try to help you with any period.
>>*****IMPORTANT NOTE*****<<: I do not answer questions marked "private." I don't want to type the same thing to someone else later if I typed it to you already! If you mark your request "private," I will send it back to you requesting you to remove the "private" flag. Thanks for your understanding. Remember, I'm a volunteer.
My answers are not toss-offs. If I don't know the answer, I will do my best to find it.
I have many requests to identify a piece of music. If I can't identify it, I will tell you (1) what composer I think it is; (2) what composer or composers I think it is not; (3) what style period, genre, etc. I think it is or is not. And give you any other help I can to help you find the answer.
Please find a clear clip. In the interest of good computer hygiene, I will not download a clip. Nor will I go to a site where I must "register" in order to hear the clip. Please mount the clip on a public site for which you can give me a direct URL. Thanks for your understanding in this. Remember, I'm a volunteer!
Students, I do NOT do homework questions. The purpose of answering questions on assignments is not only to learn the information, but to LEARN HOW TO FIND IT. Re-read chapter. Look in the index. Look in the references given at the end of the chapter or elsewhere in the book. You also probably can find the answer using Google. Don't be lazy. I wouldn't be doing you any favors by doing your homework for you! I already know the answer. You don't. You need to find it. MORE IMPORTANTLY, you need to learn HOW to find it. That's the whole purpose of education, after all!
