Music transports us and defines us. As a form of expression, it has been passed down through oral tradition, musical notation and recordings in a chain of connection that spans the globe, across the millennia. 'A History of the World in 50 Pieces' follows that chain, collating 50 examples of classical music that reflect our changing politics, social structures and technological development, and how composers, musicians and listeners have shaped those currents of history.
