Classical music history swings like a pendulum between simplicity and complexity. The intricate musical fabric of the Baroque era was followed by the simplicity and balance of Classicism, quickly moving forward to expressive Romanticism and beyond. This balance mirrors the way we communicate, dress, and live. We will travel classical music history’s winding road, interpreting the simple and complex sights along the way.
