Is there any difference between "classic music" and "classical music"?

[pugachevV]

Classical Music is generally accepted to mean music written in the European tradition during a period lasting approximately from 1750 to 1830, when forms such as the symphony were standardised.

Classic music means music, which over a period of time is judged to be of the highest quality and of recognised and established value.

So they are not synonymous. You can have classics in any form of music.
