Abstract: The subject of this article aims to put in the mirror two fundamentally different musical genres. It is the stylistic difference that seems interesting, so in the following pages, I chose to analyze rock creations that quoted or processed classical music. Rock music, a genre that appeared in the second half of the twentieth century, could not escape the influence of classical music, so, as we will see throughout the paper, there are many rock pieces influenced by classical scores, works that remained in the top of the preferences of rock music listeners. Some of the rock musicians chose to quote classical fragments, others chose to process them, or to be inspired by certain elements of their composition, such as melody, harmony, and rhythm. I believe that this type of comparative analysis is helpful in the case of music education teachers who want to introduce the classical genre in the students’ favorite repertoire, through the medium of rock music. Thus, the second objective of this article is to propose an alternative to traditional music auditioning.

Key words: rock, comparative analysis, rock cover, audition
