MUSC 220 Ludwig van Beethoven‚ 1770-1827. Classical Period Symphony No. 5 in C minor‚ Op. 67 This piece is relatively long compared to the music written in previous periods such as Medieval‚ Renaissance and Baroque.

Music Appreciation Concert Report St. Louis Symphony Orchestra I would like to start off by saying that having the opportunity to attend the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra was an experience all in itself. The building as a whole was breath taking‚ and the music that was played was fascinating. The first piece played was by the composer George Frideric Handle.
