The concept of “classical music” is very vague from the point of view of terminology. In the conventional sense, classical music is called music that has stood the test of time and has remained popular for many years after its creation.

In historical terms, the notion of “classical music” refers to the musical tradition of classicism, to be exact, the 18th and 19th centuries. Other periodicals, on which we will stop, limit the period of classical music of the Middle Ages, when it was born, and the present time, when it still exists.

In the history of classical music, separate periods of development are singled out.
Renaissance
The longest period in the history of classical music, covering 1400-1600 years. The era of the Renaissance and the rapid development of art, which left in the world musical tradition works of such composers as Thomas Luis de Victoria, Giovanni da Palestine, Tomass Tallis and including the musical creativity of Shakespeare.
Baroque
The Baroque epoch (1600-1750), following the Renaissance, is characterized by more complex musical forms, the emergence of new genres, a variety of genres, polyphony. It was in the Baroque era that the opera blossomed and composers became popular, which they listen to and inherit to this day: Johann Sebastian Bach, Antonio Vivaldi, Georg Friedrich Händel.
