But technically, the <a href=\"https:\/\/courses.lumenlearning.com\/musicappreciation_with_theory\/chapter\/overview-of-the-classical-era\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Classical Period<\/a> of music refers to a narrower era of time, roughly 1750 to 1820. Simplicity, elegance, and sparseness were trendy during this period. So, no, not all classical music is complex\u2014in fact, Classical pieces are often intentionally simple!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Classical music is also <a href=\"\/blog\/pop-vs-classical-music\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">more similar to pop music<\/a> than you may think. And learning classical pieces will help you develop sight-reading, theory knowledge, and hand independence. After all, many beginner piano classical pieces were composed with students in mind.

This piece is essentially an exercise in broken C major chords. Supplement your practice with our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pianote.com\/blog\/chord-theory\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lessons on piano chords<\/a>, and you can learn a lot! See if you can identify Bach\u2019s chords and chord progressions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The way this piece is written is quite predictable, so you can easily look ahead and prepare yourself for the next chord.

So, \u00e9tudes are a way to develop technique without yawning at the keyboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>B\u00fcrgmuller\u2019s collection was a favorite from my childhood, but don\u2019t worry\u2014these pieces aren\u2019t childish at all!

If you do enough digging, you\u2019re likely to find something you like. Classical music also informs the jazz, blues, and pop genres. It\u2019s all connected, and it\u2019s all very fun to play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One convenient thing about playing classical pieces is, thanks to copyright expiration, you can access the majority of classical sheet music for free. The <a href=\"https:\/\/imslp.org\/wiki\/Main_Page\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">International Music Score Library Project (IMSLP)<\/a> has a vast, online database of free classical sheet music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want more classical content?
