Classical Period vs. Classical Music

"First Movement" Symphony #40 by

Mozart

When the term ‘classical music’ was invented, it

was simply music written during the classical

period 1750 to 1820.

The Classical Period ended when Beethoven

died because his music was so different from

composers of that period.

Now when people say Classical music they

generalize and include more serious religious or

secular music from the 11th century to the

present day.
