Classic:

The classical music starts at about 1750 (death of JS Bach) and ends approximately in 1820. Classical music itself coincides with the period known as classicism, as in other arts was the rediscovery of the classics and a copy of Greco Roman art, which was considered traditional or ideal. In music there was not a classic original, and that was not written any music in the Greek or Roman times. The music of the classical music evolved into a highly balanced between harmony and melody. Its main exponents were Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven the first (since its second season became more romantic.

 

One among many of the classics of classical music was Ludwig van Beethoven .

Tears fell from the eyes of the girl at the moment they recognized the music, and then with a tremulous voice, asked him if it might be the great master himself. "Yes," said Beethoven, "to touch you." After a few moments while playing one of his older compositions, the candle flickers and goes off. The interruption seemed to break the train of her memory. Beethoven got up, went to the window, and opened it, flooding the room with the moonlight. After meditating a moment turned and said: "Improviser a sonata to the moonlight." Then came the wonderful composition that we know so well.

Its major differences with other styles are clear and melodic voices in the foreground and several linear and percussion.

In the story says that the term "pop music" was not understood as a musical genre with specific characteristics. The music listed as "Pop" apocopation of "Popular Music", was understood as the opposite of worship music, to classical music. Under this definition fall styles like rock, funk, folk and even jazz.

The term is more specifically used to indicate a particular style that originated after the development of rock steady. In this sense, reggae includes three sub-genres: the skinhead reggae, roots reggae and dancehall.

ROCK AND ROLL

The Rock and Roll emerged as a defined musical style in United States in the 1950s, some elements of rock and roll can be heard in the recordings of blues as far as the 1920s.

Some date the origins of rock and roll in 1954 with the recording of Bill Haley and his group Bill Haley and the Haley's Comets, especially with "Crazy Man Crazy" (1954) and its highly successful "Rock Around The Clock" ( 1955), which would have much influence on John Lennon. Others feel as a creator of Little Richard or Elvis Presley, and choose as the start date of the rock and roll in 1954, the year in which Presley released his first album.

Each of its subgenera can subtly mixed with each other and can also collect items from each of its sub-ideologies, which makes the rock a diverse culture and rich in ideas and sounds.
