RE: [Opinion] How does Classical Music differ from other Genres of Music?

in #music7 years ago (edited)

Now this is a beautiful piece, more impressionist than traditional classical music but wow! Talk about atmosphere, moods and emotions. It kind of loses it's sense of meter and paints a wonderful picture... The flute motif intro, along with the Harp, makes me feel like I'm in ancient Greece or something...
Folk Music inspired?

Debussy Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune - Leonard Bernstein

Sort:  

The composition was inspired by the poem L'après-midi d'un faune by Stéphane Mallarme

It would appear it was inspired by a poem.

Bernstein went to the Curtis institute of music. My piano instructor also went there.
