Vintage and Classic Music


Old is gold. That is true of music too. Music lovers of all generations look back affectionately and nostalgically to the vintage and classic music they heard, enjoyed and grew up.

Classic music draws its energy from the traditions of Western liturgical and secular music of the 11th century.  The years between mid 18th century and first quarter of 19th century  formed the golden era of Classic music, which was  followed by the Baroque and Romantic periods.  The eminent composers of that era were Beethoven, Mozart and Shubert.

The Polish pianist and composer Federic Chopin was one of the most influential virtuoso pianists of the Romantic period.  His Raindrop Prelude is famed for the melancholic chords. 

German composer and organist Johann Sebastian Bach from the Baroque period was a great master. Ludwig Van Beethoven of Germany was perhaps the most influential composer who made the critical transition from Classical to the Romantic era. His Moonlight Sonata is immortal.  Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was another popular composer.
 
Vintage music is a far cry from the modern digital music. The imprints of a bygone era of vintage music rests in Vinyl LPs, who still offer a better quality sound than the digital music counterparts. In music quality suffers when the sound is compressed digitally.

It is sheer nostalgia that holds the vinyl albums dear to any heart. Its music represents a nice time of life rich in memories. Unforgettable moments were woven around those records and record players.

The business of heritage music is also doing well; people are making big bucks by buying and selling old vinyl records. Hundreds of online retailers are on the web trading records at high prices. EBay sells millions of vinyl LP's every year.

Profit apart, the hobby of collecting precious heritage music can make you an amazing music lover. No wonder the demand for A Beatles vinyl or Rolling Stones vinyl will never ebb. For information about Ambient Music and Religious Music read Articlesnatch.com suggestion.
