Classical Music refers to a long-standing tradition of music that spans from roughly the 9th century to the present day, primarily encompassing the Western art music tradition. It is characterized by highly structured forms, sophisticated compositional techniques, and a focus on instrumental and vocal music, often performed by orchestras, chamber ensembles, and choirs.
The term typically includes music from the Classical period (roughly 1730-1820), with notable composers such as Mozart, Haydn, and Beethoven, but it also encompasses earlier periods like the Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque, as well as later developments including Romantic, Impressionist, and contemporary classical music.
Classical music often emphasizes notation and written scores, allowing for consistent performance and preservation of works over time. It typically involves formal concert settings, and it can include a variety of genres like symphonies, sonatas, concertos, operas, and chamber music. The study and performance of classical music continue to influence modern music across various genres.
