Question

What is the easiest way to determine between the different musica time periods

Answer 1

Just by listening to the music. Baroque music is usually played on the harpsichord with ornamentations (i.e trills) and a mostly described as large, grandiose, formal, and complex. It is one of the oldest musical time periods. Then, you have the Classical period which is described as clear, orderly, balanced and in "good" taste with a return to simple beauty, no clutter. Then, there is the Romantic Period. This could be described as a revolt against the controlled, formal qualities of the Classical period. This music also had great value on personal feelings, expressions, and individuality. (Also within the Romantic Period, there was the Impressionism period. Often described as veiled, ambiguous, and vague. Often used modes and whole tone scales and broke free from traditional structure. Last but not least, there is the Contemporary (Modern) Period. This is music that is described as having the most freedom from structure and rules. There is frequent experimentation with new ideas, such as the use of digital sounds and prepared pianos. This is the current musical time period that we are at.

ancient doesn't really have specified voices, they tend to have a repetitive structure. Then, medieval was mostly centered around fanfares and bagpipes with wind instruements....fiddles starting coming around in renaissance..

Answer 19

maybe you should research what instruments were most popular during said periods, train your ear to recognize them.

Another way to do this is to research some pieces from different time periods and study the differences and styles.
