Depends what you mean by classical music. Do you mean Mozart and Haydn? Do you also mean 20th century and contemporary composers of art music? Renaissance lute music? Impressionism? Chant? The entire tradition of Western European art music? "Classical music" is a very ill-defined stereotype.JHOOKS said:whats up people! hey do you guys know what are the most common or base chords and scales use for classical music?
