Oh, I play clarinet but I'm studying music history. Western music has its roots in Germany and Italy, but France was definately the the third most important country when it comes to the development of music. you cant really understad the relationship between the words and music in a Mozart Opera like Don Giovanni, really, until you know good deal of Italian. And how can you understand a Debussy chanson until you know French? you never hear of any really famous English composers because even though England produced great writers, there werent very many good English composers.
