What can you say about the music during the Baroque period?

Baroque music is a style of Western art music composed from approximately 1600 to 1750. The Baroque period saw the creation of tonality. During the period, composers and performers used more elaborate musical ornamentation, made changes in musical notation, and developed new instrumental playing techniques.

How do baroque classical and romanticism differ?

Baroque: counterpoint – listen for one part entering after another, a bit like a round or canon. Ornamented melody line (trills and twiddles). Strong bass line, often a bit like a second melody. Romantic: pieces feel bigger, both in terms of notes used and bigger dynamic ranges.

What is the difference between the baroque and classical periods?

Baroque music generally uses many harmonic fantasies and polyphonic sections that focus less on the structure of the musical piece, and there was less emphasis on clear musical phrases. In the classical period, the harmonies became simpler.
