	European classical music Summary
		Classical music is a broad, somewhat imprecise term, referring to music produced in, or rooted in the traditions of, European art, ecclesiastical and concert music, encompassing a broad period from roughly 1000 to the present day.
		The term classical music did not appear until the early 19th century, in an attempt to "canonize" the period from Bach to Beethoven as an era in music parallel to the golden age of sculpture, architecture and art of classical antiquity (from which no music has directly survived).
		Classical works often display great musical complexity through the composer's use of development, modulation (changing of keys), variation rather than exact repetition, musical phrases that are not of even length, counterpoint, polyphony and sophisticated harmony.

	Classical Net - Basic Repertoire List - Authenticity and Period Instruments
		For earlier music (i.e., romantic period or classical period and earlier, especially music of the baroque, renaissance and medieval periods), there has been a great deal of exploration of different interpretations in terms of "historically informed" or "period instrument" practices.
		Period interpretations have found favor with musicians and CD buyers, and the availability of recordings capturing these performances has increased dramatically in recent years.
		At their best, period performances can illuminate often-heard compositions anew by incorporating smaller instrumental or vocal forces, and expose novel sonorities by using instruments similar to those in use at the time the music was first composed, thus bringing a clarity to the inner workings of the music.

	My Periods Are Irregular. Is Something Wrong With Me?

		If a girl has one of these problems, or if her periods are irregular for 3 years or more (or for other reasons), the doctor may prescribe hormone pills or other medications that will help her to have regular periods.
