It probably doesn’t help its cause that some of the most exciting and evocative music ever composed has been stuck with the unhelpful label \u2018classical\u2019. <\/p>

But, as we hope to show below, ‘classical music’ covers a huge and captivating array of music, all the way from the mystical monophony of Gregorian chant<\/a><\/strong> via the passionate Romanticism of Brahms<\/a><\/strong>, Tchaikovsky and Wagner<\/a><\/strong>, on to the boundary-pushing modern-day creations of the likes of Dani Howard<\/a><\/strong> and Missy Mazzoli<\/a><\/strong>. Among this vast and delicious smorgasbord of music, there is plenty of great classical music for beginners \u2013 that you might not necessarily think of when you think of ‘classical’.<\/p>
