Classical music has its roots in the 9th century although the term itself did not appear until the 19th century in an attempt to ‘canonize’ the period from Johann Sebastian Bach to Beethoven as a golden age. The term covers a wide variety of forms, styles, genres, and historical periods, making it difficult to define the specific characteristics of a classical CD.

Vague descriptions are plentiful, such as describing classical music as anything that “lasts a long time,” a statement made rather moot when one considers contemporary composers who are described as “classical;” or music that has certain instruments like violins, which are also found in bluegrass music, Broadway music, and other genres; or “relaxing” or “background” music for affluent people, descriptions which are probably only accurate when describing court music from the Baroque and Classical periods; indeed, many people do not find modern or avant-garde composers and works such as Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima by Krzysztof Penderecki or Black Angels by George Crumb to be very relaxing or “snobby.”
