What is classical music?

(It is a well - known fact that classical music has two mainstream streams, the East and the West. This article is based on a Western work.

It's not pop music. But it has a lot of catchy tunes.

It's not rock music either. But it can always be applied to a good rhythm as well as in dance.

It is not traditional folk music either. But it often contains folk music and rhythms.

It's not jazz music either. But it also has the potential for instant improvisation, as well as occasional free expression of musical feelings.

Classical music literally contains a lot of things and it is able to cover a large set of emotions. But after a long time, today the word "classical music" is often understood globally in the Western world.

As an act of "putting art first and fun second".

So there is an easy answer to the question of what classical music is. It's not a big money music genre. (it's the kind that doesn't make much money)

     It's not always so. It was a time when kings and religious leaders bestowed great gifts on classical works of the past. Today, with the domination of the pop music world, classical music has lost much of that market, but its value has not been harmed.

   Literally "classic" (ancient / revered) has no eternal value and is conceived with certain standards in mind. (The very word classical cannotes something of lasting value, something conceived with certain standards in mind.)

Some people have labeled such genres as "elite". But it was a low-level attack.

 There are no such restrictions on classical music. It is a music that is highly valued by those who study it in more detail. Music with such a mindset is essentially accessible to anyone, regardless of class, who likes non-traditional open-ended listening. Such a listening action is an important part of this musical classical music.

🔺 Classical music is intended to be foreground, not background

Even when used in shopping malls and hotel lobbies, most classical music is aimed at the foreground, not the background. It wants to move forward and in the middle, not hide.

Word The word classical conveys structural order, a clear sense of form, design, and content.

It's music that she hears as well as sees. (it can be "seen" as well as heard)

It's like a house of sound with a foundation, walls, stairs, and windows.

🔶 Classical music exhibits symmetrical characteristics.

In the works of joseph haydn and amadeus mozart they often act like the model of 18th century buildings. For example, if a building has three windows on the left, three windows on the right. That is, an equal number. Similarly, they expected unswering phrases, such as the question and answer of musical phrases, to be balanced to the ear while listening to music. It is a basic feature of classical music.

In the nineteenth century, Anton Bruckner confused many listeners by composing very long symphonies. But when the interior is analyzed it appears that the more clearly organized melody is well tied together. Until the 20th century, designers followed the basic rules of classical music structure by experimenting with form and design. But privacy still had a chance.

The greatest musicians did not follow the rules. But made rules for their posterity.
