Baroque music, which prevailed from about 1600 to about 1750, is known for its grandiose, dramatic, and energetic spirit, as well as its stylistic diversity. During this period, many outstanding composers emerged, including Johann Sebastian Bach, Antonio Vivaldi, Claudio Monteverdi, Georg Friedrich Händel, and many others . The musical works of this era are characterized by their richness, complexity, and use of new forms, such as operas, oratorios, cantatas, sonatas, concertos, and overtures. Baroque music had a significant influence on the development of classical music and remains popular worldwide to this day.
