Non-serious composers, "thought they continued to use those hoary old formulas, and yet somehow their music was of the twentieth century. | | | In analogy to how in the Western world the "classical" period for art and architecture was defined as Greek and Roman antiquity, in music also a certain period in the evolution of a musical tradition can be marked as classical: | | | Other "classical music" traditions have no regional references any more in their name, but only refer to the cultural entity to which they belong, for example: |

| | Classical Music: When did the classical era end? |
| | Some people say that after Beethoven died in 1827, that's when the Romantic era began and the Classical ended, but most people will say around 1800 because Beethoven's music after 1805 is a much different style than his early music. | | | There are actually "Classical eras" for different types of art, but I'll just deal with music since that's my specialty! | | | Thanks to Beethoven (1770-1827), this style of music was short-lived. |

| | According to the Oxford Concise Dictionary of Music's entry the instrumental fantasia was closely related in its history and form to the motet. | | | In the Romantic period, two contradictory trends greatly affected the fantasia: one was the decline of formal improvisation as a test of the compositional technique; the other was the move by composers toward freer forms. | | | The fantasia (also English fantasy, German fantasie, French fantaisie) is a musical composition with its roots in the art of improvisation. |
