I have to compare two types of classical music, from different era’s. This can be romantic, bourlesque or any other type of music. I’m clueless about classical music, so two classical tracks that you think would be good to compare would be brilliant. I don’t need your analysis of the tracks as I have to do that for my work, but any suggestions would be lovely.

lauren ok so this is more of an opinion question
you know how people say babies are smarter when they listen to classical music
The "Mozart Effect"
well why is that?
I think it's because of all the different sounds (instruments) and soothing tones...the calming effects and concentrating on those different sound and tones
well then why not Trance

Adam Singleton For too long, classical music has been regarded as the domain of instrumentalists, composers, academic musicologists and, typically, anyone over 40 years old. But while the majority of today's youth would rather listen to Britney Spears' greatest hits or watch My Chemical Romance on MTV, the view that young people are completely uninterested...

How about Symphony No. 40 by Mozart and Symphony No. 5 by Beethoven.

I’m afraid the first answer wasn’t very helpful, choosing two works from the late Classical period written only 20 years apart.
I would suggest this:
Haydn: Symphony No 104 in D major (‘London’)(from 1796 in the Classcial period)
and a piece that looks wittily back at the Classical period:
Prokofiev: Symphony No 1 in D major Op 25 (‘Classical’)(from 1917)
That should be fun.

I would suggest doing it on pieces that didn’t intend to follow suit from a predecessor.
Why not something from Schoenberg and Montiverdi or Bach… show the full swing around of musical innovators

- Romantic with early, free atonality. (Works by Berg, or the early works of Schoenberg for example).
- Another good one would be a fugue by Bach and a fugue by Beethoven, compare how they were similar and how they were different.
- Or compare a Baroque Italian overture, with either a Classical or Romantic overture.
- Compare Baroque dances (such as “Minuet & Trio” or “Gigue”) with any Classical or Romantic pieces that bear the same name. They would be greatly different in style, but you would find surprising similarities

On the other side of the spectrum you could look at some fairly recent pieces. Why not look at a modern era 12-tone piece like Schoenberg’s Violin Concerto, and then compare it to a contemporary era piece like John Adams’ Violin Concerto. Analyze how atonality has evolved into a more flexible system for today’s composers.

My suggestion would be comparing a classical symphony from the period of Haydn and Mozart with a symphonic poem.
There are some shared elements but overall distinct differences.
The latter was a natural progression of the Romantic period whereby free spirits like Franz Liszt sought to release themselves from the constraints of the strict sonata form symphony.
