Classical music is a broad term that refers to music rooted from the traditions of Western liturgical and secular music. The term “classical music” appeared in the early 19th century, describing classical music as anything that “lasts a long time.”
There are certain characteristics that classical music contains that generally few or no other genres of music contain, they are often distinguished by their choice of instruments. Classical composers often create their music with a very complex relationship between its affective content and the intellectual means by which it is achieved as it generally requires high musical skills to play and ability to coordinate with other players.
