well=2C I've never seen anything like that in America. I always see "class=
ical" listed under types of music. I usually tend to ignore that stuff tho=
ugh. Especially because of the sweeping generelzation about all instrument=
al music being classical. I would feel much better if it were called tradi=
tional music or something like that. If I'm reading what you wrote correct=
ly=2C it looks like you are upset by the fact that they seperated classical=
from music. I almost feel that they should be seperate considering what p=
eople consider "classical" is a far greater amount of music than modern mus=
ic from the 40's/50's and it deserves more recognition than just a small li=
ttle link labeled classical among all the other categories such as pop=2C r=
ock etc... That's just my opinion though.=20
