In the Baroque era is was either "Sacred" or "Secular". Later in the Classical and Romantic era it was classified by the type of piece, such as Symphony, Concerto, character piece, etc. When you are talking about genre in reference to "classical" music, it means the type of piece it is like I mentioned above. (symphony, concerto, sonata, etc)

Roughly c1500s Renaissance, c1600s Baroque, c1700s Classical, c1800s Romantic, then 20th century and now contemporary. Dates overlap centuries and composers such as Beethoven spanned two genres (in his case Classical and Romantic). Pre-Renaissance is classed as Medieval and anything before that, early.

Back then, it was only two types of music... the posh one, perfomed in churches and on royal court, and the simple peasant "folk" music.
So there was no music classification to speak of.

It was probably the only type of music around at the time, so it was just 'music'. Probably.

Baroque is an historic reference not used until later.
