In [[European classical music]], the triangle has been used in the western classical [[orchestra]] since around the middle of the 18th century.<ref name=":3" /> [[Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart]], [[Joseph Haydn]] and [[Ludwig van Beethoven]] all used it, though sparingly, usually in imitation of [[Janissary]] bands.<ref name=":3" /><ref>{{Cite book|title=Handbook of Percussion Instruments|last=Peinkofer, Karl|first=Tannigel, Fritz|publisher=European Amer Music Dist Corp|year=1976}}</ref>  The earliest writing for the triangle is found in  [[Christoph Willibald Gluck|Cristoph Willibald Gluck's]] operas Der betrogene Kadi (1761)<ref>{{cite web |last1=Berry |first1=Mark |title=Der betrogene Kadi |url=https://triangleresearchhub.omeka.net/items/show/2342 |website=The Triangle Research Hub |publisher=Mark Berry, publisher}}</ref> and ''[[La Cythère assiégée|La Cythère Assiégée]]'' (1775)<ref name=":3" /><ref>{{cite web |last1=Berry |first1=Mark |title=Cythère assiégée (Besieged Kythera) |url=https://triangleresearchhub.omeka.net/items/show/2312 |website=The Triangle Research Hub |publisher=Mark Berry, publisher}}</ref>''.'' The first piece to use the triangle prominently was [[Franz Liszt]]'s  [[Piano Concerto No. 1 (Liszt)|Piano Concerto No. 1 in E♭ major]], where it is used as a solo instrument in the third movement, giving this concerto the nickname of "triangle concerto".<ref>Mordden, Ethan (1986). A Guide to Orchestral Music: The Handbook for Non-musicians. Oxford University Press. p. 183. {{ISBN|9780195040418}}.</ref>  In [[Romantic era music]], the triangle was used in some music by [[Richard Wagner]], such as the "[[Bridal Chorus]]" from ''[[Lohengrin (opera)|Lohengrin]]''.  [[Johannes Brahms]] uses the triangle to a particular effect in the third movement of his [[Symphony No. 4 (Brahms)|Fourth Symphony]], the only appearance of non-timpani percussion in a Brahms symphony. [[Albert Lortzing]] used triangles in the opening of his opera ''[[Der Waffenschmied]]'' to mimic the sound of hammers in a blacksmith's shop.
