The status of classical music in nowadays for people

Some young critic believe classical music is meaningless and doomed to wane,finally the pop music will be the mainstream instead of classical music.The typical example is a book called”Who care classical music” written by a American critic who named Glenn Kurt. The book represent a series of reasons why classical music has been destroy and imply classical music finally will be replace by pop music.

Actually, the true is Classical music is become glam increasingly in our generation even eighty percent young people who live in Europe consider that the classical music is highly affect to people in different ways from the recently survey.

This thesis purpose to introduce the function of classical music and explore the status of classical music in nowadays society.

Firstly,I admit the fact which is classical music was not so popular in last twenty years ago just like the book said.But main reasons is not Classical music lack of fascination.The fact is there were too many things happened in these fifty years such like: The American revolution,first moon landing and so on.the economy of the world also was developing speedy.The whole world need a kind of spirit which is ebullient and wild,people need impact for their vision and hearing. But classical music always embody the mood implicitly and need people listen with carefully which is not quite possible in that period. That’s the reason why people enjoyed the pop music even the rock music enthusiastically and classical music is oblivious.

In nowadays,I believe classical is returning and definitely can be the mainstream in this period,not like Glenn Kurt predict” However, it's obvious that classical music is not important to most people.The implication is that classical music, like 19th-century narrative, is not popular because its form of narrative has become antiquated……………….. But the grand narratives of Beethoven or Melville seem alien to most people. This is not the form in which they understand their lives.

People are suffering too many stress even many people have some mental illness such like melancholia or insomnia. They need a kind of way release the stress and purify their soul.Listen classical music is the most valuable solution for that.The famous philosopher Aristoteles said:” music(classical) has incredible power to form person”.
