In three to five sentences, compare and contrast these two terms: classical music and Classical music.

Anyone?

Classical music with the capital C refers to classical music in the time period of 1750 to 1820. The more general term, classical music, include music composed before and after that period but are in the same category. The Classical Period was recognized as such due to the many famous composers during that time: Beethoven, Haydn and Mozart.

i think what this question is getting at is that there is an age or time period in music history called the Classical age which produced a multitude of common orchestral, brass, and piano movements. Some of the composers include the classics like Beethoven, Mozart, Hayden and Bach. The classical music i think that they are refering to with the lower case "c" is describing the genre of music that is either wind/brass, orchestral, piano or other instruments that did not originate in the modern times.
