Choose one composer from the classical era and listen to some of his work. which pieces did you listen to? how would you describe these pieces of music? what makes the music characteristic of the classical era?

If I were you, I would do something easy like Bach or Mozart. Both artists have music that can make you feel very somber or very very alive. I think all music of the classical era followed a similar beat, which I. Turn made the music appeal to different emotions tjrouout the crowd. That's my feeling though.
