Classical music is a phrase used to refer to music created since the medieval period, scored for a wide range and sometimes a large number of acoustic (non-amplified) instruments.
The history is broken into several major divisions:
*[[Renaissance period (music)|Renaissance]] (1400-1500)
*[[Baroque period (music)|Baroque]] (1600-1750)
*[[Classical period (music)|Classical]] (1750-1820)
*[[Romantic period (music)|Romantic]] (1820-1900)
*[[Twentieth Century period (music)|Twentieth Century]] (1900-1999)
Although there are not strict temporal divisions, each period has tended to reflect other things that were going on in society and civilization at the time. Each period has a handful of better known composers who represent the style in people's minds.
