Bill Pirkle, in a recent posting on this thread, questions the relevance
of the term "classical music". I just wanted to relate that I consider
it highly relevant. It has been, for me, the entrance "ID" to the music I
want to listen to and own. Also, everybody I know has a generally similar
notion of what classical music sounds like (love it or hate it). And the
typing of the term in a search engine brought me to Dave's website; that
has plenty of significance as well.
My basic response to Bill is that a descriptive term can be relevant
without being exacting. It's a slippery world when one wants the exact.
