Classical music
The major time divisions of classical music up to 1900 are the early music period, which includes Medieval (500-1400) and Renaissance (1400-1600) eras, and the Common practice period, which includes the Baroque (1600-1750), Classical (1750-1830) and Romantic (1804-1910) eras. Since 1900, classical periods have been reckoned more by calendar century than by particular stylistic movements that have become fragmented and difficult to define. The 20th century calendar period (1901-2000) includes most of the early modern musical era (1890-1930), the entire high modern (mid 20th-century), and the first 25 years of the contemporary or postmodern musical era (1975-current). The 21st century has so far been characterized by a continuation of the contemporary/postmodern musical era.
