Classical music refers to music produced in, or rooted in the traditions
of, Western art, ecclesiastical and concert music, encompassing a broad period
from roughly the 9th century to the 21st century.
European classical music is largely distinguished from other musical forms by its system of staff notation, in use since about
the 16th century. Western staff notation is used by composers to prescribe to
the performer the pitch, speed, meter, individual rhythms and exact execution of
a piece of music.
The term "classical music" did appear in early 19th century, in
an attempt to "canonize" the period from Johann Sebastian Bach to Beethoven as a
golden age .
