What is special about classical music?

Answer 1

In the mid 18th century, Europe (the heart of art and music) moved into a new "formally elegant" style called Classicism. Classicism actually originated during the Renaissance, but took on a more ordered, formal and contrasting style during the 17th century. The term "classicism" was retained, but came to mean a different style.

Answer 2

For the same reasons any other music genre or style is popular. It's all a matter of personal taste. As there are many different styles of music, there are an equal number of enthusiasts who appreciate and support those very styles of music.

Answer 3

'Classical Music' is actually made up of a number time periods (one of the main ways works of the genre are categorized). One of these periods is known as the 'classical period'. The word 'classical' was later (ie in the 20th century) applied to the whole genre, regardless of time period.

The classical period is called 'classical' because of its concern for formal organization, a concept that observers linked to the ideals of ancient Greece (the original meaning of 'classical' refers to classical Greek). The first known use of this term for music defines 'classical' music and 'romantic' music as opposing trends. In current usage, 'classical' is more likely to be considered the opposite of 'popular' music.
