Best Answer

Beethoven began composing music during the Classical era. However, he experimented with greater variety of dynamics, more complex harmonies, the expression of emotion and with extending instruments beyond their previous boundaries, thus ushering in the Romantic Era. Beethoven is regarded as the bridging composer between Classical and Romantic, and he is best known for his Romantic works.

He began his career in the classical period and ended during the romantic period. His early to middle works are classical and style but begin to show signs of romanticism around beginning of the 19th century. A few examples include his Op. 10 piano sonatas, Symphony No. 3 Eroica. A few of the more famous later works, that would be considered to be part of the romantic era, include the Op. 131 string quartet and his 9th symphony.
Beethoven's music and his life fall neatly within the Classical Period. During this time, it was not common for performers to do much with music of a significantly earlier era, so it is safe to say he most likely performed primarily (or exclusively) Classical Period music.

It is important to know, however, that Beethoven is considered by many (myself included) to have been a major force in ushering in characteristics (particularly aesthetic and harmonic) of the Romantic Period that came during his lifetime.

Beethoven initially composed during the Classical Era, but provided the transition to the Romantic Era, during which he also composed, and set the style for the new period.

What did beethoven's music sound like?

Beethoven's music changed throughout his career. There were three periods to his compositions; the early period, the middle period, and the romantic period. During the early period, he learned the classical style of music, and his pieces during this time (in Bonn) reflect this. When he went to Vienna, his compositions began to become more original. In the Middle period, his compositions brought out the bass parts to make his music feel dark. The Romantic period came about because of Beethoven. He filled the gap between the Classical era and the Romantic era. His work was known as the "radical departure from the past."

Who influence beethoven?

Beethoven's early music was largely influenced by Mozart. He admired Mozart's music, and actually met him in Vienna at the age of sixteen, whereupon Mozart was so impressed by the young prodigy that he gave him his first composition lesson. Forced to return to Bonn with news that his mother was dying, Beethoven did not return to Vienna until 1792, by which time Mozart had died. Haydn then gave Beethoven further composition lessons for a short time, which is why music from this "first period" of Beethoven's composing career strongly reflects the styles of Mozart and Haydn.
