Classical music is a tricky genre, mainly because to the uninformed everything before jazz sounds like it! Indeed, <br /> <br />Classical music and Baroque music both use orchestras to produce their distinctive sounds, but the way in which <br /> <br />each does it is truly different. For example, Baroque music is very heavy, whereas Classical music is light, almost <br /> <br />airy. <br /> <br />Indeed, Classical music greatly emphasized homophonic melodies, meaning that there was a single melody that all the <br /> <br />instruments played, instead of the layered melodies of the Baroque period. This allowed for Classical pieces to be <br /> <br />much more powerful, whereas Baroque pieces were just pretty in comparison.
