I. READING

1. Read the article and say who wrote the first jazz song in the music history.

Classical music rules the modern world

Young people are normally into rock, pop, or even rap, but the musical influence of classical composers is felt in any piece of contemporary music. Classical composers such as Bach [ba:k], Schubert [ˈʃuːbət], and Mozart [ˈməʊtsɑːt] are still popular. How can it be? Just look back at the music history.

Firstly, Bach wrote the piece “Prelude and Fugue [fjuːg] Number 20 in A Minor”, a composition that combined the composer’s classical style with a more modern approach (подход / падыход), which was later named the first Jazz song.

Secondly, the structure of almost every popular song in today’s music can be connected with Schubert’s creation of the three minute, verse-chorus (куплетно-припевной / куплетна-прыпеўнай) based song. Schubert, though he was a classical composer, wanted to create short melodic songs that everyone could enjoy. So he had written hundreds of pieces before the perfect design of music was created, which we still use today.

In addition, Mozart also came up with his own structure of music in which many of his pieces were simple in comparison to the earlier works of Bach. Mozart found that a simple four chord¹ melody, similar to that of modern pop and rock music, could be beautiful. This simple method let him become one of the most well-known composers of all time.

The roots of music are important. In fact, many popular artists in today’s music industry have a close relationship to classical music. A large portion of today’s musicians grew up playing some sort of classical instrument such as the piano or violin, because reading music notes is a necessary skill in the music industry. The relationship between modern and classical music is especially felt in the works of “One republic”, “Coldplay”, “U2”, “Justin Bieber, Adele”, and many more. It’s not surprising that these musicians are really popular. Their secret of success is that they have used or adapted classical music into their works and normally this combination draws attention of a wider audience.

Overall, if you have learned several different instruments, or simply listen to music, the influence of classical music is undeniable (неопровержимо / бяспрэчна). Though many believe classical music is a dying art form, it is still popular with today’s society and widely used by modern musicians and composers.
