Classical Music

The term "classical music" first began to appear in the early 19th century, and gained popularity among music lovers who regarded the period from Bach (technically, a Baroque composer) to Beethoven as a shining era in music history. The later 19th century ultimately became known as the Romantic Era, but when it came to telling the general public what their local orchestras were playing, Berlioz and Brahms were slipped in under the broad "classical music" rubric. Eventually, 20th-century composers from Stravinsky to Stockhausen crowded under the umbrella as well.
