was a Classicism composer but he was also a composer that broke down Romanticism . He destroyed the Sonata form , which is the turning point of the Classicism to Romanticism . After Beethoven , there were so many composers in Romanticism : Schubert , Men ' delssohn , Chopin , Schumann , Liszt , Verdi , and Tchaikovsky are typical examples .
Now , try listening to Chopin ' s Etude composed in Romanticism . Can you feel the difference ? The big difference between Classicism and the Romanticism is emotion : In Classicism the music just followed the Sonata form so it is simple . However , in Romanticism , with plentiful emotions , it is very complicated .
Now , let ' s talk about perfect pitch . Everyone can distinguish the height difference between sounds . For example , anyone can fnd that soprano is higher than bass . In this sense , perfect pitch is given to everyone . However , we don ' t use the word perfect pitch in these cases . This word precisely means the ability to recognize correct notes . In other words , if someone has it , it means that he or she has ability to identify or sing musical notes correctly . These are the composers that had perfect pitch : Handel , Mozart , Beethoven , Chopin , and Liszt . Besides , there are many composers who had perfect pitch .
There are two types of having perfect pitch : The frst one is given at birth and the second one is received after birth . Regarding the latter , we can acquire perfect pitch if we played an instrument like the piano when we were three- to fve-years-old . The reason why people don ' t have perfect pitch is because they played instruments after this critical period in early childhood . It is common for children who played the piano from ages three to fve to have perfect pitch only in white keys . This is because they played music consisting only of white keys and they are familiar with those sounds . In these cases , if the music consists of black keys , they make a mistake . However , people who know the twelve sounds perfectly can feel the same level what keys are played .
