What type of music is classical music?

Classical music is a broad term of music of the western culture. It is a combination of the Western Art music that began in the Medieval period, typically called the common practice period, and most regional musical styles and genres. It is the music of the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic eras, particularly the 18th and 19th centuries. Some of the main genres of classical music are symphonies, concertos, sonatas, chamber music and solo instrumental performances.


Why was the classical era called the classical era?

While the term "absolute music" is most commonly applied to the classical era (and also to the Romantic period), the classical period was not defined by being absolute music. Absolute music is music that is not created for an outside purpose, not to be accompanied by a dance, or a play, but to exist on its own, to be performed alone, perhaps in a concert hall. Unlike program music, it does not tell a story, or represent anything. The term was usually applied to instrumental music without vocals. To define Classical Music by one of its many types of music would be absurd, so while the classical era included many pieces of absolute music, it also included program music, and Opera; the Classical era is not exclusively made up of absolute works.


What does 'classical music' mean?

In music, "classical" has two meanings. The generalized term, "Classical Music" denotes art music composed for performance, as opposed to popular songs, rock, or theater music. The more specialized meaning, within the larger category of classical music, denotes symphonies or other types of music composed in the mid- to late-18th century through the early 19th, by Haydn, Mozart, early Beethoven and their contemporaries, known as the "classical period". Alternately, "classic" can just mean a favorite or standard for many years, like classic rock, classic bluegrass, etc.
