Young People's Concert By Leonard Bernstein

In the featured book "Young people’s Concert," the author, Leonard Bernstein, explains the meaning of Classical music. Mr. Bernstein believes that people do not understand the exact meaning of classical music and they describe any music that isn’t pop or jazz as a classical music. He started his argument by giving examples about the mistakes that people do when they describe music and he found that the reason why people use inappropriate words to describe music is because people do not know why people started to call some certain types of songs as a classical music. According to Mr. Bernstein, classical music refers to a period of the history of music between 1700 to 1800. At last, Mr. Bernstein explains briefly the history of classical period.
