	Italian Progressive music
		Many groups used almost classical arrangements and worked out their ideas in such a perfectionism and with the ability to fuse the emotional and intellectual, rhythm changes, jazz and pure classical influences (from the barock until classicism area mostly) and rock at the same time.
		Even barock compositions were rewritten into classical period pieces, leading into the most common opinion of what kind of music classical music brings forth.
		This music had its roots in UK symphonic groups who were popular at that time in Italy, like ELP, Vander Graaf Generator, Genesis, Gentle Giant.

	Classical Music - A short history
		The classical style may be seen to culminate in the music of Beethoven, who is perceived as the link between the classic and romantic style.
		Italian opera (opera seria, opera buffa) soon dominated the early baroque style of the seventeenth century, which extended to the composition of oratorios on sacred subjects.
		Later in the century, the Classic style of Haydn and Mozart dominated the music of Western Europe, with the symphony, sonata, and string quartet predominating, and the sonata principle at the core of musical structure.
