** When was the classical music period? **
The dates of the Classical period in Western music are commonly accepted as being between about 1730 and 1820. However, the phrase classical music is used in a colloquial sense to explain a range of Western musical styles from the ninth century to the current, and particularly from the sixteenth or seventeenth to the nineteenth.
