Re: "Classical music" [Re: mr_kite]
    #948633 - 10/10/02 06:45 AM (21 years, 3 months ago)

'classical' meant 1750something or 1760something to 1820, i think. that's what it originally referred to. people started calling that bunch of time in music the 'classical era' after one of the famous guys died. beethoven, maybe.

they called it 'classical' because it was looking back to the first classical era, i guess. the one in greece. no one knows what music people were playing in greece way back then but they wrote lots of stuff about how music should sound. all of the nu-classical composers wanted to follow all that stuff and write super-perfect stuff.

before the 'classical' part in music came the 'baroque,' i think. i'm not really sure. then the 'romantic' came after the classical.

i learned all of that in school.

okay. it's possible to really like classical music but not be able to name any composers, really. or anything like that. it's always on radio 2. cbc. but-- except when it's jazz. but mostly. i like the kind that's really baroque-y and has maximum harpsichord action. i know that i like debussy and erik satie, too, tchaikovsky, stravinsky, vivaldi.
