European music once flourished in ancient Greece, but by the Middle Ages, music was monopolized by the church and the feudal ruling class. It became a tool for them to propagate religion, paralyze the people, and consolidate feudal rule. Most of their professional works were for churches. Psalms used. By the 16th and 17th centuries, with the rise of capitalism, instrumental music and operas appeared one after another, and music began to enter theaters and turn to the public. By the 18th century, music gradually got rid of the shackles of religion. Influenced by Renaissance ideas, composers' works gradually focused on the embodiment of human nature and the reflection of people's lives, and their creative techniques became increasingly rich and sophisticated, thus beginning the Golden Age of European classical music. With the development of capitalist industry, musical instruments have been gradually improved and perfected, and the masses have become the target of performances. Coupled with the influence of bourgeois revolutionary ideas, music art has achieved great development. From the 18th century to today in the 21st century, in just two to three hundred years, great musicians who have had a profound impact on world music have emerged in large numbers, and a large number of world-famous outstanding musical works (masterpieces) have also been produced. In terms of successive changes in creative ideas and musical styles, different schools have been formed. There are mainly classical music schools (18th century), romantic music schools (19th century), national music schools (second half of the 19th century) and modern music schools from the 20th century to the present (including the Impressionist music school and the Impressionist music school at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries). Expressionism, primitivism, neoclassicism, 12-tone system, sequence music and other various genres in the 20th century).
