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.
