  28. Baroque Period Three of the greatest geniuses of this period were Vivaldi, Bach and Handel. During this time, the first operas appeared in Italy. The orchestra began to take its modern shape, and forms like the sonata (for piano and one other instrument) and concerto (for solo instrument and orchestra) emerged. Most Baroque music is highly decorated with very complex melodies.

  29. Classical Period The death of Johann Sebastian Bach in 1750 signaled the end of the Baroque period and the introduction of a style of music now called Classical, which is plainer and more disciplined. Classical music was often written on a larger scale, and its finest expression is the four-movement symphony. Haydn and Mozart, the greatest composers of the Classical period, also brought the sonata and the concerto to a high degree of perfection.

  30. Romantic Period Ludwig van Beethoven, who began as a Classical composer, broke the mold with his revolutionary “Eroica” in 1804 and dominated the musical scene until 1827. European music would never be the same again. Precise forms became less important than the expression of powerful feelings, and Romantic composers like Schubert, Mendelssohn and Tchaikovsky put emotion into music as no one had ever done before. At the same time, Liszt, Dvorak and Grieg began using music to express patriotic sentiments.

  31. Modern Period The early 1900s saw the beginning of the Modern period, which is much more diverse and complicated. All the traditional rules of music have been challenged, including seemingly basic principles of harmony and rhythm. Some 20th-century music is harsh and difficult to appreciate. But Modern composers like Holst, Debussy, Stravinsky and Copland have entered the mainstream and will be enjoyed for as long as music is played.
