The pieces had a rigid layout and featured basic geometric forms, often with flat surfaces and sharp corners. The compositions were symmetrical. The inspiration for decorative elements came mostly from the Classical World and war. Gods and Goddesses and mythical beasts are often featured. Laurel leaves and trophies, symbols of victory and glory, were often widely used. Piano has an eighty-eight note keyboard and a two-pedal piano lyre.
