What's funny is even the modern genres are based on classical music, the evolution of music theory and instruments that it drove. Some day perhaps you can tell them that!
I thought classical music was boring when I was first introduced to it. I couldn’t wrap my head around Bach, found Mozart and Beethoven boring. Those were the 3 usual names you were introduced to and so I wrote off classical music as boring.. until I heard Debussy, Ravel, Albeniz, Satie and Stravinsky. I think people should give later period composers more credit when introducing classical music to others.
Romantic is my favorite of the "classical"/art music periods. It tends to be more expressive than the earlier periods but still has melodies and harmonies that make sense to the ear unlike some of the stuff that came after.

@misterrobato2937that’s a bad argument because you’re ignoring the context of their existence. These classical works laid the groundwork for literally all of western music. That’s why they’ve stood the test of time, because they are the reason we have the music in the first place. If you’re a fan of basketball you know who George Mikan is not because he’s the best, but because he helped lay the groundwork for what became our stars today, much like with music fans(who are much more prevalent than basketball fans) still knowing who Bach or Mozart is. Another thing to add, even if people recognize the name of the composers or the way the music sounds, a majority of them wouldn’t be able to listen to it and go “Oh, that’s by Verdi” or “Ah yes, his 14th symphony”
thank you so much guys i am from a middle class family in a dusty little town in india..thank you for making this video.. i have already discovered bach, liszt, vivaldi. pachelbel
Actually, regarding Opus numbers, those started in the late classical to early romantic era Baroque and early classical composers were given their own catalog initials. Handel's is HWV, for another example.
I liked seeing the Italian prog rock in the center (Area and Banco) at 0:38. Banco actually had an excellent instrumental album that was a combination of rock, jazz and classical called di terra.
Nice video but I think you’re off just a bit in your description of nomenclature in the Chopin example. Opus is often a GROUP of works with what follows being the individual work within that group. The next, more granular level down, would be the movement within that work. For example, Beethoven’s Op. 18 contains his first 6 String Quartets. Each Quartet is then noted by the musical key it that it was written around. Each piece (a string quartet in this case) is made up of multiple movements. Each movement is usually described by its tempo. So.....Beethoven Op. 18, String Quartet #1 in F Major, has four movements. The second movement (typically performed in about 8 and a half minutes) is an Adagio, or in plain-talk, a slow movement.
In any case, his video is the easy explanation, which I am not going to have to pass a test with. One day, I hope to understand what you are saying above. ;)
Thank you so much. I am 68 years old, an i fell in love with classical music 3 days ago. Have you got any more info on the basic history, who when, where, an his style. Thanks again, an God Bless you!
I recommend everyone to listen to any of Gustav Mahler symphonies, his works are the pinnacle of epicness and beautifullness, they are very long tho, so it might be intimidating at first, but it's completely worth it
For me, starting with the piano sonatas made things easy. Maybe because piano sonatas are what I am/was mainly interested in, but it was easy to get a taste of what each composer was like, just based off of piano works. I think it can be a little more approachable than symphonies, anyway.
I listen to metal and punk rock and enjoy the finer 80's and 90's pop. I love prog rock I just heard Vivaldi summer (storm) that was fire I think it is time for me to start exploring what composers should I check out considering the genres I like.
The hardest struggle for me was learning to read the long @ss track titles. Haha Pop music really simplifies things with one or two word titles. For most of my life I thought classical music was interesting but I never really took the time to truly appreciate it. Then one day I heard a piece that just captivated my attention and I couldn’t go back lol
Stuff like fuges, operas, cantatas, ovetures, concertos, sonatas, duets, piano trios, etc are like the genres of classical music. In my opinion calssical music is not a genre, nor the periods. and each of those genres have their own phases, styles, structures, instrumentation and themes, just as modern music would be divided into genres for the same reasons. Like an overture, which were different depending on the region and period. A baorque overture in the french style would be different to the baroque overture in italian style. the classical overtures that can be hear (or atleast from the classical overtures I have heard) have similarities to the italian styled overtures of the baroque period but have their own flare. Romantic music is another great example of those differences in styles depending on the regions where it was written thanks to a high sense of nationalism.
I don't know what it is, maybe it starts great but then I felt the rest of the explanation went a bit too fast? I feel like I'm a bit confused still, I wish if I can watch a longer version of this video. But I'm glad you explained the (op.) number and (no.) I was specifically searching for this and stumbled upon this video, but now I wanna know more. Your fault
Leonin , perotin , guillaume de machaut , thomas tallis , giovanni pierluigi da palestrina , claudio monteverdi , antonio vivaldi , jean baptiste lully , jean philippe rameau , georg philipp telemann , all of this are composers well before bach's age who contributed to classical music as we know it today , also did he seriously mix together the midieval ars antiqua and ans nova musical periods with the musical renesaince?
So is a cataloged work number (e.g. "Op. 9") like an album? Like is the composer intending that you listen to the pieces in a cataloged work in sequential order similar to how someone would listen to the songs in an album? Or is each classical "song" just listened to on it's own?

@@misteryu5879 That's a very good place to start, I mean not knowing what it's all about. I think first you need to ask yourself what music and art in general is for. You can only start appreciating classical music once you are ready to understand music outside of immediate emotional gratification. Maybe start with the Concertos or the Well-Tempered Clavier of Bach or the String Quartets/Quintets by Mozart.

@@Howloxsorry so late, but just saw this video...the Opus is more like a folder on your desktop, and can contain several different pieces. The Nocturne he refers to is the second d work of that folder, or group, or opus number. Chopin nocturnes are one movement pieces; there simply is no second movement.
I hope this music helps me in my New journey of sobriety. Day 15 without weed and booze after 10 years of heavy use and most modern music I hear isn't being helpful 😂

OMG CLASSICAL MUSIC IS SO BORING AND SLOW AND CALMING!!!111 It's literally because people exclusively have ever listened to the slower ones. I'm not saying that they aren't good, it's just that it makes people think that even most classical music is like this and generalize it in such a way. The truth is that classical is one of the most diverse kinds of music with a gazillion sub-genres and is way higher in complexity. Plus the more popularized classical music falls into two categories. First is the slow, relaxing, background-kind of music, and second is the oversimplified attention-grabbing with little musical value. In general the less popular works I have always found way superior.
Sorry, but it's irresponsible to pretend that innovations in polyphony and the development of both the broken and full consort (preceding the chamber orchestra of the baroque period) during the renaissance don't constitute their own period distinct from the gregorian chants of mediaeval music.
I was always fascinated with classical when I was a kid but I never listened to it much cause my family would bully me about listening to “boring music” my family listened to loud blasting rap/latin music.
