Please briefly summarize the classical music in Europe.

Western classical music is a concept without accurate definition.

Western classical music in a broad sense refers to music created under the background of European mainstream culture since the Middle Ages. It differs from pop music and folk music mainly in its complex and diverse creative techniques and profound connotations. Geographically, these music are mainly composed in Europe and America, which is relative to non-western music. In addition, western classical music is mainly recorded and disseminated in the form of musical scores, which is different from the oral and psychological teaching modes of most folk music.

Some people think that "classical" corresponds to "popular", because these music can stand the test of time and arouse the sense of * * * of listeners in different times, so it should be called "classic" music.

However, if we look closely at the word classical, the original meaning can be understood as classical music works handed down from ancient times (ancient+classic), but generally speaking, classical music is music with regular essence, balanced and clear characteristics, and pays attention to the aesthetic feeling of form, which is considered to have lasting value, not just popular in a specific era. This is also reflected in the difference between "classic" and "classic".

Classical music originally refers to the music represented by Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven in Germany and Austria during the period of 1750- 1830, that is, the so-called "Vienna Classical Music School" (or translated as "Vienna Classical Music"). This is classical music in a narrow sense.

Starting from this narrow concept of classical music, it can be traced back to Bach, Gandel, even the earlier religious music of Catholicism and Christianity, and it can be traced back to romanticism, national music school and western modern music in the 20th century. These are classical music in a broad sense, that is, based on this tradition, whether it is to inherit and carry forward this tradition or to try to break through this tradition with innovation, it can be classified as classical music. Music independently developed outside this tradition, although drawing on and influencing the creation of classical music, is generally not included in classical music, such as jazz, rock music and the music of some ethnic groups in the East.

Classical music, as the category name in music, exists relative to light music, pop music and other categories, and it has no strict and clear explanation or definition. In the scope of light music, the concept of "classical" is sometimes used to refer to some light music works that have stood the test of time and are regarded as models by people, such as classical operetta and classical jazz. The classical understanding here is "ancient+classic", which seems to be more appropriate.

PS: It was revised at the request of the landlord.

Classical music refers to music created under the background of European cultural traditions from the Baroque period (1600- 1750) to the early 20th century. It is different from pop music and national music and has eternal significance.

From about 1600, the so-called baroque period (baroque is a technical term borrowed from the history of architecture and painting, which comes from Portuguese and means very irregular pearl; In Italian, it also means impulsiveness, exaggeration, willfulness and fantasy. ), European composers began to create early music, which was the beginning of classical music.

In fact, many western classical music originated from music written for religious ceremonies and celebrations, which is sacred but relaxed. Being labeled as serious has been a mistake for thousands of years, but classical music can actually be very popular, so I hope that while listening to popular music, you might as well try the elegance and connotation brought by classical music ~ ~ ~

I hope you are satisfied with the revision.
