Classical music is a term used to describe music that originated in Western Europe during the period of the 17th to the early 19th century. It is a broad term that encompasses a wide range of musical styles, including orchestral works, chamber music, choral music, solo instrumental music, and opera.

Classical music is characterized by its use of complex harmonies, sophisticated forms, and often intricate melodies. It is typically performed by professional musicians using acoustic instruments, such as violins, cellos, pianos, and trumpets, and often involves large ensembles such as orchestras and choirs.

Some of the most famous classical composers include Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, and Tchaikovsky, among many others. Classical music continues to be performed and enjoyed today, and many modern composers continue to be influenced by classical music in their work.
