There is no Class Distinction in Music

"Giving a brief and general outline of our music heritage, my paper will highlight the changing face of music from Ancient Greece to the present day. How has it been, and still is, a ceaseless source for expression socially, politically and aesthetically? With emphasis given to 17th and late 19th /early 20th century French literature, these various uses of music have often run concurrently; composers and authors have worked together using music as the voice for their specific needs. Through literature, opera and later through film, I would like to look at these specific needs. Music has been used to disguise and, at the same time, expose class distinction. How has this affected the community?"
