The “classical music period” is the historical and stylistic era that spanned from about the mid 18th century through the early parts of the 19th century. During this time, music–and the world in general–were going through some important changes. Music was being made more available to the common man, rather than just the rich and the royal. Public concerts became available. The “symphony” was invented as well as the string quartet. In politics, democracy was being tried as a modern form of government. (something about the years 1776 and 1787 rings a bell) Mozart and Haydn were two of the most important composers of this period. Beethoven is also associated with this period, but is actually more of a transitional composer, taking musical style into the “romantic” era.
NOW, as for the term “classical music,” I would call it music that has withstood the test of time and represents the best that a given era had to offer. My daughter calls it “music written by dead people.” That would justifiably include J.S. Bach as well as Jerry Garcia. the pop music of today that future people want to put on concert programs in 100 years would be classical music, just like Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms would hold that distinction today.

I need a simple definition of the Classical period that isn’t completely based around music?
Why was the classical period so short?
As opposed to other musical periods? It was only around from 1750-1829 or some odd number.
i’m trying to write a “current event” article as if i was in the pre classical period. i find that the invention of the plow was pretty significant, so i wanted to center the project on it.
i just need to clarify that this occured during the preclassical period?
Wikipedia features changes in orchestration from the Classical period on but I think the most important developments happened during the Baroque and Classical period with the additions and removals of instruments. I remember the earliest orchestra had the violin, the viola, the cello, the harpsichord, the organ, the lute, the theorbo, the chitarrone and some other Baroque instruments but how did the orchestra develop from there till the somewhat standard one we know nowadays? I would appreciate any input. Thanks!
