- ----------
- Q1. What are the major periods of "classical" music?
-
- What the public generally calls "classical" music is actually many
- different styles of music that come from many historical periods. The
- usual classifications are: Medieval music, Renaissance, Baroque,
- Classical, Romantic, and Modern. The precise dates of the beginning
- and end of each period is a source of major academic debate, and many
- argue (and perhaps correctly) that there is no precise date but rather
- a long overlap. It is also quite accurate to say that styles changed
- in different places at different rates, so one date isn't necessarily
- valid for every region of Europe.
-
- With that disclaimer, here are *approximate* dates that distinguish
- each period. Some of them overlap, as you can see, since certain
- composers adopted the new styles before others.
-
- Early: 1100-1300
- Medieval: 1300-1430
- Renaissance: 1430-1600
- Baroque: 1600-1750
- Classical: 1750-1827
- Romantic: 1810-1900
- Modern: 1890+
-
- This breakdown attempts to categorize fundamental shifts in the
- attitudes and styles of characteristic composers. Chances are that if
- you like the music of a composer of one period, you will like music by
- other composers of the same period, though we *do* encourage you to
- experiment and to sample music of all periods.
-
- Q2. I'm new to classical music and want to learn about it. What should I
- listen to?
-
- Probably the first thing you should listen to is your local classical
- radio station. Because there are so many different types of music
- that are usually lumped in as "classical," there is no easy answer to
- this question. By listening to a varied program at first, you can
- begin to identify the types of music and the eras which are most
- interesting to you. You will then be better armed to purchase
- recordings.
-
- Another useful tool is your local public library or university music
- library. If you are wary to plunk down your greenbacks for a composer
- who you've never heard, go and check out a CD or throw on a headset in
- the library's listening center and check out a sample. Many people
- try to preview entire discs by listening to them first on loan.
-
- Still, the regulars on rec.music.classical have compiled the following
- lists to help you get started. They do make some assumptions,
- however, namely that you have some idea of what _periods_ of music
- interest you (once again, check out a classical radio station for a
- few days if you're not sure). If you are eager to get started, we
- have also provided a general survey of music that covers all the major
- periods.
-
- Table of contents for the lists:
-
- L1 A list for rank beginners who want a general survey.
- L2 A list of representative medieval/renaissance music
- L3 A list of representative Baroque instrumental works
- L4 A list of representative Baroque choral works
- L5 A list of representative Classical instrumental works
