Classical

Classical music is characterized by its complex harmonies, precise instrumentation, and formal structures, often featuring orchestras, chamber ensembles, and solo instruments. Emerging in 17th-century Europe, it evolved through the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic periods, with notable contributions from composers who shaped the genre's distinctive sound. Typically marked by balanced rhythms, intricate counterpoint, and expressive melodies, classical music showcases a range of vocal styles, from operatic arias to choral masterpieces. At its peak in the 18th and 19th centuries, classical music became a cornerstone of Western cultural heritage, influencing art, literature, and society. While intersecting with other genres, such as opera and film scores, classical music's unique blend of technical sophistication and emotional depth sets it apart, reflecting the artistic and intellectual values of its time.
