A.
True

B.
False

Answer 1

A. True. During the Classical period, which lasted from approximately 1750 to 1820, composers began to write music for full sections of woodwind, brass, and string instruments in the orchestra. This allowed for a greater range of colors and textures in orchestral music and helped to establish the standard orchestra that we know today.
