write a paper in which you share your thoughts on the continuing usefulness of a Classic-Romantic divide. It is your choice to defend or reject the traditional division, or even to propose a new way of thinking about how the period from 1750 to 1850 works as a whole

A historical period is a construction. Periods don’t just happen; still less are they given ‘objectively’ in the historical record… On the contrary, a periodization is not so much true or false, as a reading, a way of making sense of complex data; periodizations serve the needs and desires of those who make and use them.” — James Webster, “Between Enlightenment and Romanticism in Music History: ‘First Viennese
Modernism’ and the Delayed Nineteenth Century,” in 19 Century Music, vol. 25, nos. 2-3 (2001-02), p.110.
In music history, the hundred-year span from 1750 to 1850 has traditionally been split in half, consisting of a Classical period in the late eighteenth century, followed by a Romantic period. Some recent scholarship, however, has questioned the logic of this divide. Citing the similarities and continuities between what happened in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, scholars have argued that it might be more useful to think of these periods as thoroughly interconnected, rather than thinking of them as representing substantially different musical traditions.
Please read pp. 109-115 of James Webster’s article and write a brief essay in which you share your thoughts on the continuing usefulness of a Classic-Romantic divide. It is your choice to defend or reject the traditional division, or even to propose a new way of thinking about how the
period from 1750 to 1850 works as a whole.
Your essay should address the following:
How can periodization be useful to us now? Please respond to some of the points raised in James
Webster’s article, and explain to what ends you think our period divisions should work.
How, specifically, does music from late eighteenth century compare to that from the early nineteenth century? Discuss at least three musical examples in detail, commenting both on specific musical features and the cultural contexts that helped shape them. Feel free to include relevant material from the primary sources discussed in lecture where appropriate.

Read the case study starting on page 201 of the textbook and answer the following questions:
Think about the research evidence discussed in the book. Would you expect the Sullivan & Cromwell associates to feel their pay structure is fair? What comparisons would they likely make? What work behaviors would you expect Sullivan & Cromwell’s pay structure to motivate? Explain.
What about associates who joined the firm four years ago? If the salaries for new associates increased by $20,000, what would you recommend for other levels in the structure? Explain.
Partners make around 10 times the highest-paid associates. A Wall Street Journal writer laments that law firms form “giant pyramids… (in which) associates at the bottom funnel money to partners at the top.” What is missing from the writer’s analysis? Hint: Speculate about the likely differences in content and value of the work performed by partners compared to associates.
A few years ago, Sullivan & Cromwell announced that year-end bonuses will be cut in half, with a maximum of $17,500 for early-career associates and $32,500 for eighth-year associates. However, last year, bonuses ranged from $2,500 to $20,000 and for the current year, bonuses are estimated to be $1,000 to $5,000. Should Sullivan & Cromwell be concerned about difficulties in recruiting or retention?
How does the Sullivan & Cromwell approach to compensation differ from that of Dewy & LeBoeuf? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each approach?
