Best Answer

The word 'classical', when applied to music, has two different meanings, a narrow one and a much broader one.

In the narrow sense of the word the classical period in music extended roughly from the middle of the eighteenth century to the early nineteenth century.

Classical Music in the broader sense of the expression includes the 'serious music' or 'art music' of the last four centuries (or perhaps longer), continuing today.
