About this listen

The history of Western music, i.e., music of European origin, is a vast and fascinating subject that spans almost two thousand years. It is a story of innovation, creativity, and change, and it is a story that is still being written today.

This book will take you on a journey through the history of Western art music (sometimes referred to as Classical music), from its earliest beginnings in Ancient Greece to the present day. Along the way, you will meet some of the greatest composers in history, from Bach and Beethoven to Mozart and Stravinsky. You will also learn about the different musical styles and genres that have developed over time, from Gregorian chant to minimalism.

This book is not just for music lovers. It is for anyone who is interested in learning more about the history of Western civilization. Music is a powerful force that has shaped Western culture and its way of life, and this book will give you a deeper understanding of its impact.
