"Classical" music is generally more difficult than contemporary music.

Unfortunatly there are a lot of people who are performing the modern music that are not musicians. If you listen closely much of today's music consists of only three chords. The music I define as Classical is much harder to learn and play but I think that it is also much more pleasing to listen to. Classical music can express so much that you can't help but have it effect your emotions. It can also paint a picture for you and if your listening properly I don't think there is a more wonderful feeling a human can experience. There is noise portrayed as music played on many radio stations today that is not real music...it's just noise!
