The best of classical music

"Classical music is a musical style that originated in Western Europe in the late medieval period and flourished in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. It is characterized by an erudite musical art form, which is performed by professional musicians and follows a set of musical conventions that have evolved over the centuries. Classical music is typically written for orchestral instruments such as violins, violas, cellos, double basses, flutes, clarinets, oboes, bassoons, horns, trumpets, trombones, tubas, and percussion, as well as keyboard instruments such as piano, harpsichord, and organ. Classical music is known for its harmonic, melodic, and rhythmic complexity, as well as its formal and structural sophistication. Many classical composers, such as Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, and Brahms, are widely regarded as some of the greatest musical artists of all time."
