Apple Music Classical

Updated 3 days ago

Spanning from the 1750s through to the early 1800s, the Classical era is characterised by the lightness, brightness and clarity of its music—and witnessed the advent of both the symphony and the sonata. Led by Mozart and fellow composers Haydn and Beethoven, this playlist captures the period at its ebullient best. We update these selections regularly, so if you hear something you like, add it to your library.
