From Baroque To Classical
It’s kind of funny how musical styles and tastes change over the years. I guess what’s funny about it, is how musicians and composers that died hundreds of years before me could be considered new and fresh. At least during a certain period they were. But, in the early days of Classical music, many of the Baroque composers and performers were considered old school. Whereas, the new composers that were writing in the early Classical style were often considered ground breaking and revolutionary in terms of music. Just like in todays music, those musicians like Carl Phillip Manuel Bach who were able to bridge the two genres were immensely popular. It does take a special kind of composer to draw form the older forms of music and make them seem fresh again.
