Classical music is art music produced or rooted in the traditions of Western music, including both liturgical (religious) and secular music.

While a more accurate term is also used to refer to the period from 1750 to 1820 (the Classical period), this article is about the broad span of time from roughly the 11th century to the present day, which includes the Classical period and various other periods.

The central norms of this tradition became codified between 1550 and 1900, which is known as the common-practice period.

The major time divisions of Western art music are as follows:

Dance is a performance art form consisting of purposefully selected sequences of human movement.

This movement has aesthetic and symbolic value, and is acknowledged as dance by performers and observers within a particular culture.

Dance can be categorized and described by its choreography, by its repertoire of movements, or by its historical period or place of origin.

A concert is a live music performance in front of an audience.

A recital is a concert by a soloist or small group which follows a program, such as featuring the works of a single composer (organ recital).

A recitalist is a musician who gives frequent recitals.

The invention of the solo piano recital has been attributed to Franz Liszt.

Sport (UK) or sports (US) are all usually forms of competitive physical activity or games which, through casual or organized participation, aim to use, maintain or improve physical ability and skills while providing enjoyment to participants, and in some cases, entertainment for spectators.

Usually the contest or game is between two sides, each attempting to exceed the other.

Some sports allow a tie game; others provide tie-breaking methods, to ensure one winner and one loser.

A number of such two-sided contests may be arranged in a tournament producing a champion.

Many sports leagues make an annual champion by arranging games in a regular sports season, followed in some cases by playoffs.

Hundreds of sports exist, from those between single contestants, through to those with hundreds of simultaneous participants, either in teams or competing as individuals.

In certain sports such as racing, many contestants may compete, each against each other, with one winner.
