Baroque and Classical

 

  • Baroque and Classical

    Is there any clear distinct differences in the music styles between these two?

    Isn't the difference just that classical music is really the genre, and baroque is a part of it, meaning the classical music of the baroque era?
    I don't think it's really possible to compare the genre (classical) with a part of itself? You probably need to define what you mean with "classical".

    Correct me if I'm wrong...

  • Aren't they both the same? I've always thought they were.

    jauchzet is right, or so i thought:

    Periods of European art music:

    Early

    Medieval (500–1400)
    Renaissance(1400–1600)
    Baroque(1600–1760)

    Common practice

    Baroque(1600–1760)
    Classical(1730–1820)
    Romantic(1815–1910)

    Modern and contemporary

    20th-century(1900–2000)
    Contemporary(1975–present)
    21st-century(2000–present)


    Baroque stars one melody, and classical tends to tell stories, AFAIK.

    “Brazil’s cattle industry [...] is responsible for about 80 percent of all deforestation in the Amazon. In fact, the Brazilian cattle industry is the largest single source of deforestation anywhere in the world. And deforestation in turn causes one-fifth of all the greenhouse gas emissions in the world, more than all the world’s cars, trucks, trains, planes, and ships combined.” - Lindsey Allen

    They are not really the same. After Bach died composers and musicians taste change during the period we now call the "Classical era" Harmony change in that period of time from the “vertical” aspect of music (Classical) - taking precedence over counterpoint, which represented its “horizontal” aspect(Baroque).

    Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.

  • In English, the word "classical" is used to describe both all kind of old European style music played by traditional instruments (symphonic orchestra, chamber orchestra, solo piano or violin, etc.), including of course Baroque music, but in a narrower meaning it might mean the musical style from the middle of the 18th century through the beginning of the 19th century, between the Baroque and the Romantic periods. So the term may or may not include Baroque.
