@bookerdana 🤔Hmmm I don't know so maybe my son would know. He's also into the romantic era when it comes to playing on his piano... He's been that way since he was 16 now he's 18! Definately an old soul... When he washes the dishes he listens to classical piano; to me it sounds like elevator music ha ha ha! I'm like how on Earth did this kid develop his taste in music??? His Dad listens to classic rock, and I prefer 80's 90's pop??? And then there's him and his elevator music ha ha ha ha !

@bookerdana One of those is "classical", but whom?
Music, rather like geology, goes in eras but with rather diffuse boundaries because many composers spanned those.
Mediaeval to Rennaisance. Much of what survives is sacred rather than secular. E.g. Hildegaard of Bingham.
Baroque: e.g. The Bachs (J.S. and C.P.E.), Buxtehude: .
[brief Rococco period]
late-Classical / early-Romantic:. Beethoven, Haydn, Mozart.
Romantic: Mendelssohn, Verdi, Tchaikovsky:
Modern: Holst, Sibelius, Shostakovitch, Britten.
Contemporary (i.e. now): Richter, Pärt, Reich. with -
- Avant-garde - contempory, experimental, very much on the fringe.
Years ago the jazz trumpeter Benny Green, I think was his name, wrote a weekly column for The Mirror, (British "red-top" newspaper). I rarely read that paper but do recall him once commenting on musical tastes and labels. He asked if a Verdi opera would be thought the less of if identified as written by "Joe Green". Joseph Green? Yes - Guiseppe Verdi!

Classical though? It's not Classical in the strict sense, nor "classical" generically. ...I don't need long winded cut and paste replies that add nothing
