When Prague's water treatment plant celebrated 100 anniversary, a street band provided the entertainment. When asked if they can play a part of the symphony of the same name as the river the cleaning, they had. Original working steam engines are shown in the video

  • Don't go tothe concert. Go out on the streets and listen to the music the way people who understand and "live" the spirit of these masterpieces...

  • This is true. However, what most people don't know is that "classical music" falls into many different genres and eras, viz., Baroque (1600s-1730s), Classical (1730-1815), Romantic (not the love connotation of the word... 1815-1900), Neoclassical (1900-), etc. People listen to "classical music" thinking it is all the same. Personally, I don't like the Classical music of the 1700s too much, but I love the Romanticists of the 1800s. This music is considered Romanticist.
