In Mozart Symphony No. 41 video I pointed out five different things that makes this symphony classical. The instruments in the symphony is mostly strings which is an important selection in classical style music. The video also have woodwind and brass instruments. The cadences are well heard in the beginning of the symphony, but have very short pauses. It was very clear that it had a homophonic texture because one melody constantly played just with harmony to surround it, and cause the symphony to sound differently. Most classical style music had a meter of 3 and 4, but Mozart always played in 4.
