Classicism
(1750 - 1820):
In the music of this period there was again what amounts to a revolution against the musical trends of the preceding (or Baroque) era. To be sure, there is not a set date on which one might remark that here the revolution began. But one can see its beginnings in the music of the great transitional composer Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, the emergence of the Galant style, as well as in the products of the musicians who came to be known as the Mannheim School (Johann Stamitz, etc.) ...

Classical music era, Wikipedia:
The Classical period in Western music occurred from about 1730 and 1820, but there was considerable overlap at both ends with preceding and following periods, as is true for all musical eras. Although the term classical music is used as a blanket term meaning all kinds of music in this tradition, it can also occasionally mean this particular era within that tradition.
The Classical period falls between the Baroque and the Romantic periods. Among its composers were Muzio Clementi, Johann Ladislaus Dussek and Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, though probably the best known composers from this period are Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig van Beethoven (as they all worked in Vienna, Austria, this period is often referred to as "Viennese Classic") - with Beethoven also being listed as either a Romantic composer, or a composer who was part of the transition to the Romantic.

The Viennese School of Composing: Information about music during the Classical Period and the composers that made up the Viennese School. The "Viennese School" is responsible for some of today's most popular classical music. This school of composers operated during the Classical Period (1740-1825), and they are responsible for many of the enormous changes that were made to musical style in that time period.
Vienna has always been a very important place as far as music is concerned, and during the Classical Period musicians from all over the world flocked to Vienna in hopes of finding fame and fortune. Unfortunately, many of these musicians and composers did not gain this fame until after their deaths ...

Classical Era
(1750 - 1820):
Based on the ideals of Ancient Greece and Rome, the Classical period stressed the importance of symmetry and form in the arts. In music, the elaborate ornamentation of the Late Baroque period gave way to a new simplicity and elegance. Emotional content was still present, but it was never allowed to obscure the clarity and formal structure of the music.
The Classical period has been called the "Golden Age of Music" because it was at this time that the major forms of Classical music--the symphony, concerto, sonata, and string quartet--were fully developed.
The sonata is the most important musical form of the Classical period: It influenced the development of all areas of orchestral and chamber music. Although the sonata was used most often in the opening movements of compositions, it is also found in slow movements and finales ...
