Explanation:

Analyze eighteenth-century music making

The second half of the eighteenth century (the Classical era) saw a rise in the middle class, leading to a massive increase in domestic music-making. Music publishing flourished to supply simplified keyboard and chamber works for amateurs playing at home. This aligns with the concept of Classical Concert Venues and domestic music culture.

Define the term "extramusical"

The prefix "extra-" means outside or beyond. In musicology, "extramusical" refers to non-musical ideas, such as a narrative, a painting, or a philosophical concept, that are represented in or associated with a piece of music. This is a foundational concept for Program Music.

Identify Classical era artistic models

During the Enlightenment and the Classical Era, artists, writers, and composers rejected the complex, artificial structures of the Baroque period. Instead, they looked to nature as the ultimate model of clarity, simplicity, and balance.
