conrtions. it is generally classified into three as follows:

of animals whichduring that time, was very popular.
2.Descriptive program music picture an event or scene One of the first- examples
of
this kind
of program music was Beethoven's Symphony No. 6 called the
Pastoral
Symphony. Programmusic composers have thought that no matter how descriptive
music may be, it must exist in terms of music, that is, story interest should not take
the place of musical interest.

improvised, that is made by the playing musician, it is not written down like classical

imitate the human voice.
