History of Classical Music

Hey dear Hive friends, first of all I would like to wish you all a pleasant day and hope it was full of positive experiences! Today I would like to discuss an interesting historical topic and hope you can expand your knowledge.

I created these pictures with the help of artificial intelligence and are supposed to express something about classical music and here I would like to specifically go into the history of it. You can divide the meaning of the creation into different areas and especially the creation of music during the period of classicism, which originated between the 18th and 19th centuries, is often associated with it and if you want to learn more about this art era, you will find a contribution here. During this time, opera also flourished more and more and in general, classical music emerged from the composition of different elements and cultures such as from ancient Greece or Rome. Italy was probably the first country to promote this music first and over time it spread more and more in other European countries such as England or Germany and the best-known artists of that time were probably Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig Van Beethoven, Franz Schubert or Johan Sebastian Bach. The most important instruments for classical music are string instruments such as the violin or cello, wind instruments such as the trumpet, horn or flute, percussion instruments such as the drum as well as the piano or harp.

Over time, classical music has shaped and changed more and more different genres and before this time important milestones were set as in the Middle Ages and already in the 11th century, letters from the alphabet were used for the first time to create the first music system, which is the basis of classical music. In the Renaissance, more and more instruments were produced of wood or metal and in the Baroque period, the bass was introduced, which was considered an important new basic tone. Classical music is considered particularly harmonious and has many positive qualities for health and until to the 20th century, instruments were still tuned with the frequency 432 Hz, which is considered particularly interesting for healing purposes and plants also react to classical music and it was proven that it can promote growth as well as the absorption of nutrients. It can also have a calming effect and help you fall asleep and is considered extremely emotional and can many different positive effects on the immune system.
