The late Classical Period pointed the way to the Romantic Era as composers revolutionized the expression of musical possibilities within the classical structures. Significant pieces of the period include Beethoven’s “Für Elise,” Waldstein Sonata, Appassionata Sonata, Emperor Concerto, and his symphonies, as well as Schubert’s “Erlkönig,” Impromptus, and Unfinished Symphony.
