Classicalism is the post-Baroque period of music that most people not trained in music are most familiar with. It includes Hayden, Mozart, CPE Bach, Stamitz, early Beethoven, and late Scarlatti, to name a few composers. Classicalism in music is best represented by a slow harmonic rhythm, a very heavy emphasis on formal structure, bellecanto melodies, traditional instrument usage/color, and music that is not too musically or intellectually challenging. The predominant harmony is the dominant-tonic relationship.

Romanticism: Music started by Beethoven. Characterized by large ensembles, harmonies based on tertian root relationships, heavier unresolved dissonances, and virtuistic playing. It refers to music from the late 18th century to WWI (though some experts also say it ends with Mahler's 1st symphony)

not through singing. Female American Idol stars will start racking up big bucks and national attention when they start opening their own porn sites.

C'mon... there have to be more music related questions. If nothing else, I'll start stealing questions from Jammie's forum and repost them here, but I'd prefer not to do that. I need something that gives me a value here, and the only thing I've got going for me is that I know stuff about music.

What's the best Bad Religion song?
Is Elvis alive? Why do people still like him.
Why is Micheal Bolton such a fudge packer?
Who would win in a fight between Micheal Bolton and Phil Collins?
Who would win in a fight between a younger Henry Rollins and John Basedow?

Holy questions. I didn't expect so many all at once.

1) What's the best Bad Religion song?
To be completely honest, I never listened to individual songs. As an album, however, I do like "Stranger than  Fiction."
2) Is Elivis alive? Why do people still like him?
If he's still alive, it would have to be tied up and repeatedly raped in some crazed fan's basement, because there's no way he's just been wandering around for this long. I think people like him because he still represent sex, glamor, rock & roll, rebellion, and sweet townboy all at the same time.
3) Why is Michael Bolton such a fudgepacker?
He's a middle aged white man who really, really wants to be a black soul singer. Failing at that, he has to settle for some sort of chocolate, even if it's ass chocolate.
4) Who would win in a fight between Micheal Bolton and Phil Collins?
Phil Collins. They're both pussies, but at least Phil always has a keyboard handy. Keyboards make great clubs.
5) Who would win in a fight between a younger Henry Rollins and John Basedow?
John Basedow. Henry Rollins would just get all pissed and run around in his underwear, punching shit until his hands bled. As crazy as he was, he always seemed like more of a danger to himself than anything else.

I've always wondered why we prefer visual art that looks like familiar things (mondrian never quite as pleasant as monet) but also prefer audio art that does not sound like familiar things. When someone makes music that uses recordings of familiar things as elements, it sounds like cheap crap (cats and dogs doing jingle bells comes to mind!).

What's up with that? Why are the sounds we find "sweet" so alien to the natural world?
