The past has always affected the present, this is a basic fact of life that everyone understands. One example of cause and effect that I have always been interested in is how the music of composers such as Beethoven or Chopin has affected music in the modern era, and, more specifically, how classical music has affected music in video games. This book will investigate similarities between popular songs in video games and classical pieces, while also looking at how the change to modern works, well, happened.
