Answer 2

I only know of four eras. They are, in chronological order as follows:

The Baroque Era - e.g. J. S. Bach, Handel; about 1600 -
1750

The Classical Era - e.g. Mozart and Beethoven; in this
period the format for the symphony was established
in big part due to Mozart; symphony now has acquired
four main parts; about 1750 to 1850

The Romantic Era - e.g. Tchaikovsky; not as formal as
the previous era; less adherence to tight structure of
the classical symphony; about 1850 to early 1900s

The Modern Era - most of 20th century to present; more
eclectic, much experimentation; a lot considered to be
acceptable.

Please note: The time periods given here are only approximations and may be out somewhat.

ALSO: In the visual arts such as painting the order of the main eras is different and they are, in chronological sequence: Early Renaissance, High Renaissance, Mannerist (really a late stage of the High Renaissance), Baroque (both Baroque Romantic and Baroque Classic), Rococo, Neoclassic, Neoclassic Romantic, Modern (Modern begins with Impressionism and continues) and Contemporary or Post Modern. Medieval and Byzantine Art preceeded the Early Renaissance.

Answer 3

Renaissance about 1450-1600 although symphony meant something different then.

Baroque 1600-1750 (when J.S. Bach died), although the symphony didn't really feature. Mostly you got concertos, suites and sonatas.

Classical 1700-1850 (note that periods can overlap), Joseph Haydn developed the symphony as we know it today, and became known as the father of the symphony.

Romantic 1800-1900. Beethoven made history with the Choral symphony, and Berlioz began a trend in demanding increasing sizes of orchestra.

Modern 1900-. Some people look back to classical or romantic models, others want to be original. I once played a symphony in 4 movements that lasted 15 seconds.

Answer 4

baroque 1650 - 1750 (vivaldi, handel, bach)
classical 1750 - 1850 (american revolution, mozarts opera)
romantic 1850 - 1900's (american civil war, tchaikovsky)
modern... (philip glass, john adams)
