Classical Music

Classical Music is the specialized study and practice of Western musical traditions that span from the medieval period to modern times. This skill involves understanding compositional structures, harmonic progressions, and historical contexts that define classical music. Musicians, composers, and musicologists analyze and interpret works from key periods such as the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic eras. Mastery of classical music enhances artistic expression, technical proficiency, and cultural appreciation, making it essential for performers, educators, and historians.
