Issue with finding a specific instrument song all in orchestra format
DK Rongpi
When I search for a particular piece suppose I want to hear Mozart Allegro only in piano instrument only but I can’t find because here everything is in orchestra which I don’t want to listen. I want to listen to a specific instrument but when I browse through instrument I can’t find that piece …. Not good app.
Thank you Apple for making this app!

Great work by Apple to think an app for classical music was worth making and doing it so well.The main Apple Music app was terrible for classical music - Albums with only some movements, names of pieces being unreadable since they were long and used to overflow past the edge of the screen, difficulties in finding alternate recordings of the same pieces. All these have been addressed in this app.This app would be perfect if you could incorporate sheet music and build the iPad version as well.
Developer Response
We are happy to share that Apple Music Classical now also offers a dedicated app for iPad.
Need updates in User Interface

The app seems very outdated. Though it functions very well, the features available are no where near even the apple music app. Please update the app to include features available in apple music.Also the idea of having Classical app different from Apple Music app is to have a dedicated platform to hear classical music. But every time I use the classical app, its history gets stored within the Apple music app too. Also, when I add an album into library of classical app, it gets added in Apple Music too. Then what is the need for 2 different apps?Please ensure separation between the 2 apps.
Awesome app with great possibilities

I was wondering why Apple Music does not have Apple Music classical. It is as if you read my mind. I also had a separate paid app for classical music although all the music was there in my Apple Music. It was because songs discovery was not good in Apple Music. Finally I have it here. Great Thanks. Feature Request: As user I need to enjoy my classical music based on my mood like gentle, calm, relaxing etc. That is for PM I guess 😀
This update contains stability and performance enhancements.
