Baroque was before the Classical period from the 1600s-1700s. Some composers include Bach, Telemann, Pachelbel, Purcell, Vivaldi, and Handel. Many woodwinds and strings, imagine dancing in a castle, that would be baroque music. The harpsichord was a very popular instrument at the time. The Baroque music style followed the Renaissance style, and made more complex use of harmony and rhythm. It was typically harder to perform than Renaissance music as it was written more for virtuoso singers and instrumentalists. There was a great deal of counterpoint, and the fugue was a popular form for composers.

The English word baroque is derived from the Italian barocco, meaning bizarre, though probably exuberant would be a better translation more accurately reflecting the sense. This period in time extending from 1600 to 1750. Baroque music is the Classical Music composed in that time. Bach closed this period of music dying in 1750 along with George Handel who died some years after Bach.

Baroque musique is classical music! It's just from a particular era of classal music (the baroque era).

Baroque music basically sounds separated because of the instruments back then and very repeated, imagine a checkerboard.

Hope that helps

classical music sounds like classical music. The only way to really know what it sounds like is to listen to it. Try Beethoven or Bach
