The Evolution of Recorded Music

Let's Take a Look at the Evolution of Recorded Music! Before electricity was invented and used, all music created by composers had to be written down on paper using a quill and ink. They had to document every single note that was to be played (on instruments like piano, violin, harp, etc.) with great detail about the time signature, the speed and tone in which it needed to be played!
