The evolution of music Music has changed over time. The evolution of music has been due to several reasons. One of the reasons that the nature, meaning, and composition of music changing over time is due to the society adapting to a capitalist environment. Nowadays, everything is commercialized. The capitalist society has led to the development of a monopolistic market; therefore, everyone is trying to obtain the majority amount of profit from their venture. Music has not been left behind in this societal development. People are producing music with the primary aim of selling and not as a means of communication. People produce music that attracts the majority number of people or rather music that is trending.

But playing a musical instrument cannot necessarily influence one’s grades while at college. All these revolve around lost chances.

Classical Music Discussion The Classical period was an era approximately between 1730 and 1820, where classical music improved significantly. I chose this specific period because classical music had become lighter with a clearer texture. The music also used a clear melody line in place of a subordinate chordal accompaniment. The time I have chosen is between the late 1700s and early 1800s, with the composer being Ludwig van Beethoven. Beethoven was a pianist and composer from Germany whose musical talent began at a young age. He is reported to have lost part of his hearing from an accident in 1798. It came from his anger at being interrupted during his work. He could hear music and speech normally till about 1812 but, unfortunately, was almost totally deaf two years later. Beethoven was one of the greatest musical geniuses of all time, and I would ask who his most important aristocratic patron was. I would also want to know the individuals who supported and encouraged him as he composed his pieces. Another question I would ask Beethoven is which of his…
