The Journey of a Classical Musician Across Time and Space

As an avid classical violinist, I've devoted this blog to the study of classical music and the variations that occur within the genre due to geography and time. I know many people view classical music as purely Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven. However, my blog excludes these composers to show the reader the diversity of sounds that have been composed throughout history. Starting with my personal auditopia, I will transcend borders and place myself in the shoes of a twenty-one-year old classical musician in Europe in the year 1925. The differences between my personal soundscape and the European's will be vastly different. Eventually, I conclude my blog from the perspective of an American musician in the year 1950. This playlist represents a combination of my identity as an American, but it also finds the middle ground in terms of time between 2010 and the early 20th century. Be mindful of the changes in tonality across time, and the melodies of the United States versus Europe.
