Baroque:

The Baroque period, spanning approximately from the late 16th to early 18th century, is
characterized by its ornate richness, both in music and art in general. Baroque music is
known for its elaborate melodies, intricate ornamentations, and dramatic contrasts in
dynamics and textures. Common instruments include the harpsichord, pipe organ,
violin, cello, flute, oboe, and bassoon.

Classicism:
Classical music flourished primarily in the 18th century and is characterized by a focus
on clarity, symmetry, and balanced structure. Classical music tends to be more orderly
and formal compared to the exuberance of the Baroque. Key instruments are the piano,
violin, viola, cello, flute, clarinet, and horn.

Romanticism:
Romantic musical period, which reached its peak in the 19th century, is characterized
by its emphasis on emotional expression, individuality, and artistic freedom. Romantic
music often features passionate melodies, rich harmonies, and dramatic dynamics,
intended to evoke intense emotions in the listener. Common instruments include the
piano, violin, cello, full orchestra (with brass, woodwinds, and percussion), and opera
singers.
