Music - Baroque and Classical Music

Baroque:
Some forms of music identified with Baroque were originated in Italy, including cantata, concerto, sonata, oratorio and opera.

Baroque is a word used to describe Western European art music from the 1600 to 1750.



Classical:
The classical period is between the baroque and romantic periods. This means that music from the classical period is music composed between about 1750 to 1820.

Classical music has a lighter, clearer texture than Baroque music and is less complex.
