I will then discuss a composer who changed from composing in the classical style to composing in the Romantic period (Romanticism) and why they changed to it.

Analyzing the structure of “Symphony No. 5” and “Eine kleine Nachtmusik” can reveal the similarities of the two pieces. As both pieces are composed in a sonata-allegro form‚ they are divided into three main sections: the exposition‚ the development‚ and the recapitulation.

Sometimes it is forcefully stated in its "original" (or first) form like the 1st movement or very subtly within a running melody as in the 2nd movement.
