Classical music

-Gathered by Bobby Wu

This article is about Western art music from the Middle Ages to the present.

Classical music generally refers to the formal musical tradition of the Western world, considered to be distinct from Western folk music or popular music traditions. It is sometimes distinguished as Western classical music, as the term "classical music" may also refer to non-Western traditions which exhibit similar formal qualities. In addition to formality, classical music is often characterized by complexity in its musical form and harmonic organization,particularly with the use of polyphony.
