It is a period where some composers still working in the Baroque style flourish, though sometimes thought of as being more of the past than the present — Bach, Handel, and Telemann all composed well beyond the point at which the homophonic style is clearly in the ascendant.

At the time, before the pre-eminence of Mozart or Beethoven, and with Johann Sebastian Bach known primarily to connoisseurs of keyboard music, Haydn reached a place in music that set him above all other composers except perhaps George Frideric Handel.

Among recent clavichord recordings, those by Christopher Hogwood ( The Secret Bach, The Secret Handel, and, most recently, The Secret Mozart ), break new ground.

Schmidt's oratorio stands in the Austro-German tradition stretching back to the time of J. S. Bach and Handel.

George Frideric Handel, born in the same year as Johann Sebastian Bach and Domenico Scarlatti.

Telemann was one of the most prolific composers in history ( at least in terms of surviving oeuvre ) and was considered by his contemporaries to be one of the leading German composers of the time — he was compared favorably both to his friend Johann Sebastian Bach, who made Telemann the godfather and namesake of his son Carl Philipp Emanuel, and to George Frideric Handel, whom Telemann also knew personally.

Bach and Handel bought and studied his published works.

The harp found its early orchestral use in concerti by many baroque and classical composers ( Handel, J. C. Bach, Mozart, Albrechtsberger, Schenck, Dussek, Spohr ) and in the opera houses of London, Paris and Berlin and most other capitals.

He studied the music of pre-classical composers, including Giovanni Gabrieli, Johann Adolph Hasse, Heinrich Schütz, Domenico Scarlatti, George Frideric Handel, and, especially, Johann Sebastian Bach.

A composer such as Johann Sebastian Bach had control over almost all of the musical resources of a town, whereas Handel would hire the best musicians available.

Bruckner is greeted by ( from left to right ): Franz Liszt | Liszt, Richard Wagner | Wagner, Franz Schubert | Schubert, Robert Schumann | Schumann, Carl Maria von Weber | Weber, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart | Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven | Beethoven, Christoph Willibald Gluck | Gluck, Joseph Haydn | Haydn, George Frideric Handel | Handel, Johann Sebastian Bach | Bach.

The main composers of concerti of the baroque were Tommaso Albinoni, Antonio Vivaldi, Georg Philipp Telemann, Johann Sebastian Bach, George Frideric Handel, Pietro Locatelli, Giuseppe Tartini, Francesco Geminiani and Johann Joachim Quantz.

This is equally evident whether we examine the unparalleled church cantatas of Bach, of which nearly 200 are extant ( see List of Bach cantatas ), or the Chandos Anthems of Handel.

Domenico Scarlatti was born in Naples, Kingdom of Naples, in 1685, the same year as Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel.

At ten years of age, Saint-Saëns gave his debut public recital at the Salle Pleyel, with a performance of Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 15 in B-flat major ( K. 450 ), and various pieces by Handel, Kalkbrenner, Hummel, and Bach.

During this period, it appears, Clementi spent eight hours a day at the harpsichord, practicing the works of Johann Sebastian Bach, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, George Frideric Handel, Domenico Scarlatti, Alessandro Scarlatti and Bernardo Pasquini.

The original score was written by George Fenton, while the soundtrack included baroque and classical works by Antonio Vivaldi, Johann Sebastian Bach, George Frideric Handel and Christoph Willibald Gluck.

The group significantly expanded popular notions of the Baroque repertoire, producing high-quality authentic " period performances " of the works of Bach, Handel, Purcell, Dowland, and even folk songs ; the membership of the consort changed over the years.

His recordings include the lute songs of Dowland, operas by Handel, Britten's A Midsummer Night's Dream, songs and semioperas by Purcell ( such as The Fairy Queen ), traditional English folk songs, works by Thomas Tallis, and the Bach alto repertoire.

Many examples of rounded binary are found among the church sonatas of Vivaldi including his Sonata No. 1 for Cello and Continuo, First Movement, while certain Baroque composers such as Bach and Handel used the form rarely.
