 Uhsting compiles 4 discs of classical music, essential for getting to venture into music history and appreciate the art of music spanning centuries. The 4 discs are roughly divided according to the 4 major eras in classical music: Baroque and before, Classical, Romantic, Modern. Each era has its own unique style and a rich history waiting for you to be explored. The pieces are selected to reflect the typical music you'll find in the period. You may have heard a lot of the famous pieces before but there are also a couple of lesser known works by equally important composers of the time. Disc 1 includes pieces from the Baroque period and before, which predates Renaissance and Medieval times. Johann Sebastian Bach is perhaps the most influential composer in this period. He is considered by many as the "father of music", mainly due to his contributions in the fundamentals of music theory. In this period, you will typically find rather structured, contrapuntal and simply-instrumented music. The period lays foundation to the sheer complexity of styles you find later on. Strings are very common in this period. Choral music is also another highlight in this period, especially earlier in time. A lot of the hymns and sacred music can be found around this time, but secular music is equally as important and influential. Perhaps the most influential of all here is "Dies Irae", which contains a motif that has been modified and revolved around in many scary film soundtracks (as well as the Squid Games soundtrack). Disc 2 includes pieces from the Classical period. This is probably the least diverse period out of the 4. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is perhaps the most well-known composer here, and you may have heard a lot of his works in childhood classical music albums. I have also loopholed to include works from Ludwig van Beethoven and Hector Berlioz, though they could technically be classified as Romantic period composers. The reason to include them is that they are pioneers for the Romantic period, and as you study music history, these two composers are frequently mentioned on their impact. Disc 3 includes pieces from the Romantic period. This period is perhaps the most well-known period and many famous pieces are originated from this era. There is a lot to include here so it could have been made into 4 discs dedicated only to this period. This period is also when a lot of modern instruments are invented. Orchestras became much larger and diverse. The sounds also vary hugely, from as simple as piano-only works, to large-scale ensembles like orchestras, and even bigger like operas that could last for hours. Disc 4 includes pieces from the 20th and 21st century. This is when art music (the traditional instrumental stuff) and popular music (like the ones you listen on the radio these days). This is also the period when composers start to experiment more with sounds through a completely different set of rules for harmony (e.g. twelve-tone technique), a divergence in the usual vibe (e.g. impressionism) and the use of everyday objects. Even then, there are still a lot of pieces harking back to the older sounds or maintaining. This is also the period where classical music becomes commercialised in the form of film and game soundtracks. Of course, I include 4'33'' which highlights how far composers can go with experimentation. Music has always played a key role in many parts of our daily lives. It shapes our cultural identity. It influences political movements. It is a reflection of the economic and societal status. I hope you enjoy the compilation of classical music spanning different eras in classical music, and hope you develop a newfound appreciation!  Whole playlist Disc 1 Disc 2 Disc 3 Disc 4 |

Wonderful, thank you so much for putting this together, I look forward to listening to this, and love that it's split into those four distinct eras.
