Classical Music?
Classical music is the art music produced in, or rooted in, the traditions of Western liturgical and secular music, encompassing a broad period from roughly the
11th century to present times. The central norms of this tradition became
codified between 1550 and 1900, which is known as the common practice period It should not be confused with the Classical Era.
European music is largely distinguished from many other non-European and
popular musical forms by its system of staff notation, in use since about the 16th century. Western staff notation is used by composers to prescribe to the
performer the pitch, speed, meter, individual rhythms and exact execution of a
piece of music. This leaves less room for practices such as improvisation and
ad libitum ornamentation, that are frequently heard in non-European art music
and popular music. The term "classical music" did not appear until the early
19th century, in an attempt to "canonize" the period from Johann Sebastian Bach
to Beethoven as a golden age. The earliest reference to "classical music" recorded by the Oxford English Dictionary is from about 1836.
