Way back in history, before the invention of gramophones or any kind of recording devices, people made their own music. I have heard that, in order to hear new symphonies, people would buy reductions of orchestral scores and play them on the piano. People used to sing or play whatever instruments they had at hand or knew how to play. Many people never got to hear live musical concerts in large concert halls. Only people who lived in cities went to those.
Things are so different now. I can hear a huge variety of music on my iPod as I walk down the street! Such a thing would have been thought miraculous in the "old days"!
I wonder if people sing as much as they used to? I wonder if they make their own music as much as they used to? (playing instruments, etc.)
Things are different . . .
