As history will tell you... In every major musical changes there was a new instrument or technic that was created. For exemple, classical music was invented 'cause the piano made it's first debut.And they've explored all the ways that they could imagine with it. Even in the mathematical way of speaking( ex: a 3/4 beat , a Waltz... it's a way of saying that they were close to be at the top of their art if not with Chopin).
Is there any classical music played and composed still today?
Of coarse it was great back in the days but a new generation is there, with new problems and philosiphies... What can we do about it?
