Music as art

Music

Music is the type of fine art that uses sounds an silences to create and generate ideas or feelings to later transmit them to the audience.

Through the ages music has evolved, and there have been eight main eras of this evolution:

1.  Antiquity (?BC - 500 AD)
2. Medieval (500 AD - 1400)
3. Renaissance (1400 - 1600)
4. Baroque (1600 - 1760)
5. Classical (1730 - 1820)
6. Romantic (1815 - 1910)
7. 20th Century (1900 - 2000)

In my personal opinion the era I like the most is the Classical, because its very harmonic and has loads of instruments playing together masterpieces like Für Elise, or the Mozart´s numerous symphonies.

i like Beethoven the most because his music reflects exactlty how he was, and his piece I like the most is : Symphony #7 - Presto.

This masterpiece was...:

• Written by Ludwig Van Beethoven
• Written between 1811 and 1812
• Dedicated to the count Moritz Von Fries 
• Played by: 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani and strings.
