It is difficult to pick particular years for the beginning and end points of Era s in European Classical Music . There are several reasons for this. First, these eras began and ended at different times in different locations. Second, works of particular styles can be found that were composed after the style was no longer popular or important. Third, the styles themselves overlap and absolute categorization is not possible in all cases. For example, a "late Rennaissance " piece would likely be very similar to an "early Baroque " piece. Date ranges of classical music eras are therefore somewhat arbitrary, and are only intended as approximate guides. Scholars of music history do not agree on the start and end dates, and in many cases disagree whether particular years should be chosen at all.
