Classifying classical music (by

Hi all.
I have a poser for all you classical musicians and music lovers out there...
What do you think would be the best and simplest way of classifying classical music?
There seem to be so many theories and ideas and no real standard way of classifying the large world of classical music. I have, for now, opted with classification by period eg, romantic, baroque etc. but am aware that this won't suit all needs. Many people, and I'm talking musicians and audiences alike here, won't necessarily know which composers fit into which periods and, of course, most decent bands and orchestras will play music from many of those periods.
I'm always open to sensible suggestions so feel free to comment to this blog or email me at paul@musiconnections.co.uk.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Paul
