 Stravinsky derived much of the musical material for his "Pulcinella" from the work of various 18th-century composers.Creating new music that closely follows the style of an earlier composer or period has provided a creative outlet for both major and minor masters.Mozart, whose music was richly informed by his contact with the antiquarian music circle of Baron Gottfried van Swieten, exhibited a particular gift for the baroque style in such works as his Suite in C Major (sometimes subtitled "in the style of Handel"), KV 399 (385i), which includes an ouverture, allemande, and courante.
