Classical Music
Just a thread to talk about and recomend Classical music, definately my favourite genre, my favourite composers are Tchaikovsky, Vivaldi, Strauss (Johann) and Prokofiev.
Anyone recomend some more composers for me? Currently trying to get my hands on some Mendellosohn (not sure on spelling)

Classical Composers
Hi-
You said that you had listened to Vivaldi, I though that you might like Bach as well. Try the Brandenburg Concertos. Some other favs and their works: Haydn- the string quartets, Surprise and Clock Symphonies; Mozart's Jupiter Symphony; Beethoven's odd numbered symphonies, esp 3,5,7,9; Rossini's William Tell; and Chopin's waltzes. Have fun, I think you have opened up a world of great music for yourself!

The Classical period falls between the Baroque and the Romantic periods. The best known composers from this period are Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Franz Schubert; other notable names include Luigi Boccherini, Muzio Clementi, Antonio Soler, Antonio Salieri, François Joseph Gossec, Johann Stamitz, Carl Friedrich Abel, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, and Christoph Willibald Gluck. Ludwig van Beethoven is also sometimes regarded either as a Romantic composer or a composer who was part of the transition to the Romantic.

You would think it's a simple question, wouldn't you? But it's sure not.
The first part of the answer is that it means different things depending on the conversation. Usually it's used to mean a broad group of music from about 1650-1900, plus things since then that have been written in a similar style. But you say "Classical" as compared to "Baroque" or "Romantic," then it means a very narrow period of music from about 1750-1820 (when Mozart was writing).
There are even problems figuring out which word to use. The opposite of "classical" music is often called popular music. But a lot of classical music was, in it's day (or even still is), more popular than a lot of "pop" music. Sometimes "classical" music is called "serious music" or "art music." But there's plenty of "non-classical" music that any objective judge would call art, and plenty of classical music that isn't very artistic. (Never mind the fact that "Art" with a capital "A" is a notion that belongs mostly to the 19th-century. People like Bach didn't differentiate between music that was "art" and music that wasn't, though they had plenty of opinions about good and bad music.) Furthermore, "serious" doesn't work too well because there are plenty of rock bands that are way too serious for their own good, and plenty of classical music that isn't at all serious (my dissertation is on a 1627 piece that uses violins to imitate cats fighting). The fact is, most of these terms are made by people looking down their nose at all kinds of music except their favorite--implying that, just because it doesn't even try to be the same kind of music, that it's inferior. But we still have no better words.
