Chaps, Just a quick question that could lead to a slightly larger answer!! What exactly IS classical music, as in what defines it? I hear on these forums and on Classic FM people discussing the likes of Mozart, and in the same sentence also include the likes of John Williams and Hans Zimmer movie scores (which are excellent by the way).... How can this be possible? The boundaries of what classical actually is seem to be falling away recently, not that I ever really understood them being a classical novice. So could someone please explain what this loose term actually means, is it now just any music that has a violin in it for example :nigel: ;) Hope you can light the way!! Rick
