Description:
Group dedicated to lovers of erudite music (or classical music).

Erudite music (sometimes "serious music" or "art music") is a general term used to indicate one type of music relating to the musical traditions implying of the structural and theoretical considerations advanced. It is particularly used in opposition to popular musics and traditional. The term refers mainly to the musics which lay a particular stress on the formal questions of style and which invite to the technical and detailed déconstruction and require a more pointed attention of the listener. The erudite music is regarded initially as a music of written tradition, preserved in the form of one musical notation in opposition to the popular and traditional musics orally transmitted or by recording. Historically, the majority of the erudite music are written in the standard form of this notation which advanced in Europe since the period of the Rebirth and knew its maturity at the time of the Romantique period. In the erudite music the identity of a work is defined compared to its version noted rather than in a particular performance.

Note: the term "erudite music" is more general and broader than the term "classical music". However, here in this group, just for the sake of convenience, the two expressions are used as if they have the same meaning. Therefore, "erudite music" here means primarily Western "classical" music (baroque, classical, romantic and contemporary) and some of the leading composers are connected to the group.
