After several weeks as a preorder (fave.co/3Kunc78), Apple Music Classical is now available as a free app (fave.co/3Kyjakl) for Apple Music subscribers. Users can download it in the App Store as a standalone app dedicated to "the complex data structure of classical music."

The interface is similar to the main Apple Music app, with four bottom tabs for Listen Now, Browse, Library, and Search tabs. The Browse section is divided into three main categoriesCatalog, Playlists, and Instruments which are further segmented into sections for composers, soloists, time period, mood, and much more. Each individual instrument also gets its own section of the app, with the latest releases, popular artists and works, and a full description of its importance to the genre.

The Browse section is divided into three main categories-Catalog, Playlists, and Instruments.
