Baroque Sheet Music

In the history of music, the Baroque period approximately extends from 1600 to 1750.

It thus comes after the Renaissance period and is followed by the Classical period.

During the Baroque period, composers further developed the concept of functional tonality.

Both composers and performers made a lavish use of ornamentation.

Performers developed new and more complex instrumental playing techniques.

It is also during the Baroque period that opera was established as a musical genre.
