all right, if we're going to start delineating, Mendelssohn isn't classical he's romantic., right? My IB music teacher introduced him as romantic, though i'd think he sounds very much baroque though from his concerto emphasis and emphasis on stringed instruments as opposed to the full orchestra. Hmmm, i'm not sure, i'm just wondering. Yes, i love that piece, his violin concerto #1 or whatever it's called. It's great.
Furthermore, agreeing with you, Bach is very much baroque, he isn't classical in anyway. That's how the baroque period is usually marked as ending, it takes place from the end of the renaissance till the death of bach. It's a marker for the end of it. Bach is not classical, he is baroque.
ah, can you recommend any Chopin piano pieces? I heard one piece by him but am oblivious to what the name of it was. It was incredible, hmmm

no...that is not it at all. Baroque isn't a subset of any sort. Musical history is divided into eras, and though people everywhere mislabel everything in the past that sounds even remotely old sounding as classical does not mean you have to. Not everything composed before 1950 is "classical." People just mislabel it all the time. Baroque isn't a type of classical music, in fact Baroque is an entirely different era of music. Classical IS a style of music, yes. But not in the light you describe it, it's a style of music relating to that which is composed within its respective time frame.
Bach is not classical, mozart is yes, but don't confuse them. Not everything in the past is classical.
-edit-: oh i'm sorry, i guess touch_my_butt all ready answered this before me. Sorry to reiterate, but...he's right heh if that's any consolation
