The Classical period was terrible for music

Melodies from the era range from sarcastic chaff to shallow joy. They are just so damn emotionless, like every melody from the era is just a person pretending to smile while they feel nothing inside.
The rhythms employed in the era are scarcely interesting. I think the expression that sums this up best is that the classical era is music without Africa. That is to say, all the joy and intensity of rhythm in African music is totally missing here.
I'm also huge on harmony and how it is employed. Somehow, the classical era managed to strip away the harmonic brilliance of what came before it, but didn't bother to find its own harmonic voice. It was an era of stagnation in this regard.
I've gone through analyses of Mozart and it really amounts to "He put themes together and they fit." Well, the themes suck, so why does it matter what he does with them? |

He just needed to be interesting. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5604172&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310690",#48149350) |
