"Classical" is a term used to describe a number of different genres and music periods. Basically, the early music is from the Baroque period (Bach), next is the Classical period (Haydn, Mozart), followed by the Romantic and late Romantic periods. Beethoven has roots in classical and led us into the romantic period. Others include Mendelssohn, Schumann, Bruckner, and later Mahler and Shostochvich, just to name a few.
