The Evolution of Classical Music (1680-1928)

So many here complaining about which composer was left out, which piece should have used, blah, blah, blah. I, for one, thoroughly enjoyed the video. Thank you so much for putting it together.

The most brilliant use of graphics to represent music I've ever seen.

The world can sometimes be so beautiful

This brings back childhood memories of me being blown away by the revelation that I didn't really like pop music but the orchestra. The above is like the starter pack playlist of stuff I took from the library, which led me to discover I was creative myself; didn't even know I could draw or sculpt or even compose until I discovered the music I love. Aside from Bach on this list, I grew into more of a Charles Ives listener since I was 13 and accidentally heard this mental noise on the radio; it compelled me so much that I waited to hear the name of the composer. It was the 1st time I felt compelled to go to the library and borrow classical albums, some of the composers above (I found it difficult to get hold of Ives, even in second hand record shops in early 80s---now it's all here on YouTube, ah, the future).

1680s - 1740s - Baroque music 1770s - 1790s - Classicist music 1790s - 1900s - Romanticist music 1900s - 1920s - Romanticism, Modernist music and Jazz influence

Imagine going to the Holy Roman Imperial court in 1710 and playing Schubert or Tchaikovsky for them. It would be a Back to the Future Marty Mcfly guitary scene moment. "You aren't ready for that yet, but your kids are gonna love it." Great grandkids, honestly.

Какой прекрасный экскурс в историю классической музыки! Спасибо!

Спасибо...вспомнилось детство, наша музыкальная школа, где мы все это играли ещё неокрепшими пальцами))) Руки просто по памяти повторяли партитуру...

Most impressed by the images of the composers at different ages. Well done.

No Mussorgsky or Rimsky-Korsakov? How did Night on Bare Mountain fail to make the list? Really enjoyed the visuals, too. Well done; thanks!

Спасибо за чудесную подборку! Почти час познавательного наслаждения.

" Без музыки жизнь была бы ошибкой " ( Фридрих Ницше ) -Спасибо за подборку

For anyone who enjoyed this video, I recommend looking for the orchestral version, which is way better and a bit less speedy

How beautiful classical music is

... the fascination experienced watching a piano roll on a player piano.

Glad to see Gershwin included. What makes so many of these compositions great - the emotions that come through.

I’m so sorry to hear of your condition, Chase. This had me in tears. Thank you for sharing and continuously educating us ❤

Magnifique idée avec le piano et les touches de lumière. Ça hypnotise

Познавательно и полезно! За свою жизнь, мне кажется, я все это переслушал, но не всегда знал, кто автор того или иного произведения. Спасибо советскому радио, оно представляло такую возможность! А автор этого ролика проложил пути к адресатам! Спасибо!

The Adagio was not composed by J.S. Bach, but by Marcello. It was only transcribed by Bach for the harpsichord
