Most people like gentle classical melodies, but they don’t know much about classical music. They’ve heard the music many times, but they don’t know the titles. Why is that? It’s probably because of the barriers to entry, such as melodies that repeat similarly without lyrics, difficult titles and formats, opus numbers, and incomprehensible musical symbols. Classical music is more enjoyable to listen to as much as you know, and the more you know, the more fun and excitement you get. In other words, when listening to classical music, you need to study to some extent what the theme of the piece is, what its format is, etc. Listening to music without remembering the important theme of the piece is like reading a novel without even knowing the names of the characters. This is why the author spared no effort in editing nearly 400 performance clips in this book. Above all, the greatest advantage of this book as a classical music appreciation book is that you can read the book in three dimensions while listening to the famous songs. This book includes explanations of each classical masterpiece and audio sources for each song in QR format. It explains in detail what the first theme is in each piece, how the theme changes, and what instruments are used to play it, and you can take a QR of the audio source that edits the main parts of the piece and listen to the performance by movement and theme. If you continue to check the commentary of the major classical masterpieces through this book while directly listening to them, the classical masterpieces you have 'heard a lot' will now become classical masterpieces you 'know well', and when you know them well, you will naturally like classical music. Furthermore, you will be able to enjoy classical music as a part of your life. Heal your heart with masterpieces and fill your knowledge with friendly commentary!
