*: "ART MUSIC" has been suggested by many notable stakeholders in the Global Classical Music Industry as being a more suitable replacement term for Classical Music as a genre name. See the Wikipedia entry on Art Music to learn more about this and the reasons behind this move http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_music . Please also join the debate about this notion on our special forum page at http://ye-olde-music-industrapedia.wikidot.com/forum/t-362020/art-music
