Answer 1

Classical music is a term with three distinct meanings: Classical , Contemporary, and Electronic.

The European tradition of music which is associated with high culture, as distinct from popular or folk forms (including works in this tradition in non-European countries).
That tradition as well as similar non-European traditions.
A particular stage in the development of the European art music tradition, centered in the late 18th century.


Contemporary music is any music being written in the present day. In the context of classical music the term has been applied to music written in the last quarter century or so, particularly works post-1975. There is debate over whether the term should be used to apply to music in any style, or only to composers writing avant-garde music, or only to "modernist" music. There is some use of "Contemporary" as a synonym for "Modern", particularly in academic settings. A more restrictive use applies the term only to living composers and their works (perhaps only their recent works). Since "contemporary" is a word that describes a time frame, rather than a style or a unifying idea, there are no universally agreed criteria for making these distinctions.

Interestingly , Electronic music has been around for over 100 years, and can be produced by peimitive instruments, such as the Telharmonium, or the more-modern Moog Synthesizer.
