"Classical music" in a narrow sense refers to "the period of classical music",

That is, 1750 to 1820 European mainstream music,

Classical music in a broad sense

The entry of Baidu Encyclopedia says:

"refers to the music created in the background of European mainstream culture since the middle ages, or refers to the traditional etiquette music and secular music rooted in the west, covering all periods from the ninth century to the present. It is different from pop music and folk music mainly because of its complex and diverse creative techniques and heavy connotation. Geographically, these music are mainly composed in Europe and America, which is relative to non-western music. In addition, western classical music is mainly recorded and spread through music scores, which is different from the oral communication mode of most folk music. "

(This passage can be skipped. )

Translated into adult language is:

Classical music is the western traditional music recorded by music scores, including religious music and secular music.

To put it more bluntly:

Classical music must be western music,

Classical music must have a score record,

Many classical music is religious music,

Classical music also has some popular secular music.

But secular music must have profound ideological connotation.

For example,

China music is not classical music,

Because China is not the West.

Rock music is not classical music either.

Because it's so popular.

When classical music becomes classical music in a broad sense,

It contains four major musical periods.

Twentieth century music

You will understand.
