Classical really refers to a particular period of time- european art music between. 1750 and 1825- the classical period- one of the shortest periods that we identify in the history of art music. Music was developed or created among a system of patronage- means someone is paying for it- could be composers that are full time employees of a church, etc. Church is responsible for a lot of what music is today. Patronage could also be aristocracy/royals- job of ppl was to produce music for the presence of royalty.
