Can you hear where a piece of music comes from? Put your ears to the test as Rick Steves and Julie Spangler explore how composers incorporated the sounds, rhythms, dances, melodies, and traditions of European countries into their music. Listen for musical clues and discover how classical music can reflect the culture and identity of people and places around the world.
