This revolution was shadowed by three main composers, Franz Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig van Beethoven, who really took over in the middle of the 18th century. A few major adjustments were made, including the arrival of the piano, which somewhat replaced the traditional harpsichord sound from earlier periods.
