There are many differences between Chinese classical music and Western classical music. First of all, Chinese classical music is monophonic music, or tonic music, while Western classical music is complex music with harmony and multiple voices. Secondly, Western classical music focuses on the expressiveness and emotional expression of music, while Chinese classical music pays more attention to melody and rhythm. In addition, the way Western classical music is created is also different from that in China. The creation of Western classical music pays more attention to theory and norms.
