Today's app is the Classical Masters – Anywhere Artists app:

Classical Masters – Anywhere Artists (http://www.anywhereartist.com/aa/) Collection of relaxing and inspiring melodies featuring free music, news, photos, videos, and more from fourteen of history’s greatest Classical composers; available for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch; Classical music is the art music produced in, or rooted in, the traditions of Western liturgical and secular music, encompassing a broad period from roughly the eleventh century to present times; the central norms of this tradition became codified between 1550 and 1900, which is known as the common practice period, not to be confused with the Classical Era; European music is largely distinguished from many other non-European and popular musical forms by its system of staff notation in use since about the sixteenth century; Western staff notation is used by composers to prescribe to the performer the pitch, speed, meter, individual rhythms, and exact execution of a piece of music; this leaves less room for practices such as improvisation and ad libitum ornamentation frequently heard in non-European art music and popular music; the term “classical music” did not appear until the early 19th century, in an attempt to “canonize” the period from Johann Sebastian Bach to Beethoven as a golden age; the earliest reference to “classical music” recorded by the Oxford English Dictionary is from about 1836; given the extremely broad variety of forms, styles, genres, and historical periods generally perceived as being described by the term “classical music,” it is difficult to list characteristics that can be attributed to all works of that type; many vague descriptions exist, such as describing classical music as anything that “lasts a long time” or music that has certain instruments like violins, which are also found in other genres; there are characteristics that classical music contains that few or no other genres of music contain; the instruments used in most classical music were largely invented before the mid-19th century, often much earlier, and codified in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries; they consist of the instruments found in an orchestra, together with a few other solo instruments such as the piano, harpsichord, and organ; the symphony orchestra is the most widely known medium for classical music; the orchestra includes members of the string, woodwind, brass, and percussion families; featured artists include Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, Johannes Brahms, Frederic Chopin, Claude Debussy, Joseph Haydn, Franz Liszt, Felix Mendelssohn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Johann Pachelbel, Maurice Ravel, Robert Schumann, Pyotr Tchaikovsky, and Antonio Vivaldi; (iOS 5.0 or later).
