Each week in "An Introduction to Classical Music" DJ Owen dissects a couple great pieces of classical music, diving deep into the history and theory behind pieces. By understanding what composers were feeling or what was happening in the world while they were writing pieces, we gain a better understanding and appreciation for the classical music.
