The different types of classical music include Baroque music, Classical music, Romantic music, Modern/Contemporary music, and Impressionist music. Baroque music typically features a highly ornamented texture and was popular between the 17th and 18th centuries. Classical music dates from the late 18th and early 19th centuries, capitalizing on a greater structure and variety of melodies. Romantic music, prominent in the 19th century, featured a more emotive style with a focus on expressive chords and melodies. Modern/Contemporary music is often more experimental, characterized by atonal and twelve-tone music. Impressionist music, hailing from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, heavily featured dissonance and blurred harmonies.
