New Classical Music

About New Classical Music Android App

Classical music is art music produced or rooted in the traditions of Western music, including both liturgical (religious) and secular music. While a more accurate term is also used to refer to the period from 1750 to 1820 (the Classical period), this article is about the broad span of time from before the 6th century AD to the present day, which includes the Classical period and various other periods. The central norms of this tradition became codified between 1550 and 1900, which is known as the common-practice period.

European art music is largely distinguished from many other non-European classical and some popular musical forms by its system of staff notation, in use since about the 11th century. Western staff notation is used by composers to indicate to the performer the pitches (which form the melodies, basslines and chords), tempo, metre and rhythms for a piece of music. This can leave less room for practices such as improvisation and ad libitum ornamentation, which are frequently heard in non-European art music and in popular-music styles such as jazz and blues. Another difference is that whereas most popular styles adopt the song (strophic) form or a derivation of this form, classical music has been noted for its development of highly sophisticated forms of instrumental music such as the fugue, concerto, symphony, sonata, and mixed vocal and instrumental styles such as opera.

If you rather prefer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, set some of his piano music and enjoy listening to the calming sounds. However, if you’d rather listen to Ludwig van Beethoven, choose one of his two most famous pieces: Ode to Joy or Moonlight Sonata and be touched every time you play the music. With the best Classical Music, you no longer need some plain sounds. Mozart and Bach music for studying is not for everyone. Save it for yourself right now!
