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.
