Abstract

The historical evolution of classical music and its fusion with different musical genres is an important phenomenon in the field of music. The aim of this thesis is to explore the historical evolution of the popularization of classical music and its fusion with a variety of musical genres. First, we define the characteristics of classical and popular music. Then, we examine the development of classical music in the history of popular music, including its relationship to blues, jazz, and American country music. Next, we summarize the history of the fusion of classical and popular music and analyze contemporary examples. Finally, we discuss the impact and future trends of the popularization of classical music. By examining this topic, we can better understand trends in musical preferences and the role of classical music in music culture.
