A system of musical notation was also gradually developed, in which the note was scored as a point (Latin: punctus) on a bar with lines. Since in polyphony the third is the most important interval, a new scale had to be constructed, based on the consonance of thirds. The most important innovation in the Middle Ages is polyphony, the polyphony. Since then, this collection has been known as Gregorian music: all unison songs. These chants were collected and codified from the 6th century onwards by order of Pope Gregory the Great (Pope from 590 to 604). These melodies underwent a change: they were stripped of their decorations, so that only the most important tones remained. The melodies sung in the church came mainly from Asia. In the early Middle Ages, the development of classical music was linked to the development of church music. Aristoxenos was the first music theorist to distinguish between different scales. Pythagoras constructed his diatonic scale with pure pure fifths. The most important influence that Antiquity had on the development of classical music is of a music-theoretical nature. Much less of Roman music has been preserved: only one phrase, reconstructed in the Renaissance from a play by Terentius. An important composer, of whom some hymns have been preserved, is Mesomedes of Crete (first century AD). No scores of Ancient Greek music have been preserved, although reconstructions can be made on the basis of surviving descriptions. The history of Western music begins with a diatonic from the (middle)-east and around ancient Greece. The current scale used in Western music, consisting of 12 tones, has developed in general historically from 3 tones around 1 tone, to 5 tones (the pentatonic), then to 7 tones (the diatonic) and finally to 12 tones (chromatic). The history of classical music is divided into a number of periods. Non-western musical cultures are also referred to as classical music, in order to distinguish the older traditions from modern popular music, as in Indian culture (Indian classical music) and China (Chinese classical music). In addition, music tradition and modern musical forms, in particular jazz and electronic music, influence each other and produce a large number of hybrid forms that can no longer be fitted into the classical-popular scheme. Classical music is not only meant to be 'serious', but has many forms of consumer music: for music education, entertainment, dance and musical theatre. In terms of a qualitative classification, the term is no longer used today. The term classical music is used as a synonym for art music or serious music, as a counterpart to popular music (light music) and folk music. More strictly, classical music is understood to mean the music from the period of classicism, ca. The majority of the compositions are notated in one way or another. The core rules of this tradition were established in the period 1550-1900. Franz Liszt characterized the piece by describing the second movement as "a flower between two abysses".Ĭlassical music is the skilled music produced by, or rooted in, Western ecclesiastical and secular music traditions, roughly from the Middle Ages to the present day.
What is striking here is that the tempo increases from movement to movement. It begins with an Adagio, followed by a more lively Allegretto with Trio, followed by a fast, highly dramatic Finale, which has the structure of a sonata-form. The work does not have a first (fast) movement in sonata form, which sonatas of this period usually contain. This explains the untypical tempos of the respective movements for the conventional sonata form. The term "Fantasia" refers to the unusual sequence of movements of the sonata. Beethoven himself gave his work the nickname Sonata quasi una Fantasia (". 2 in C sharp minor by Ludwig van Beethoven, completed in 1801, is also known as the Moonlight Sonata. As the emotions rise and fall, the intensity swells and diminishes gracefully. The first movement of this instantly recognisable piano sonata starts off quietly to set a calm, delicate and slightly melancholic tone.
