Light classical music

Light classical music refers to a genre of orchestral or instrumental compositions that are elegant, accessible, and generally more relaxed than traditional classical music. It often features melodic, lyrical lines and pleasing harmonies, designed to evoke gentle, pleasant feelings. Examples include salon music, certain waltzes, and pieces intended for entertainment or background listening. Light classical aims to maintain musical sophistication while being enjoyable and easy to appreciate, making it suitable for a wide audience without requiring specialized musical knowledge.
