As you heard with the opening slide here for this segment, we're going to engage now the first movement of Antonio Vivaldi's well known, The 'Spring' Concerto.

Finally, we'll wrap up the module with an introduction to music of the Classical Period, and who better to lead the way than the inimitable Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart? One might say that Bach was an idealist and Handel was a realist when it came to music, so we’ll look at how these personality traits informed each composer’s musical style. Next, Bach’s music will then be compared and contrasted with that of his exact contemporary and fellow German, George Frideric Handel. First, we'll get a chance to 'live' during the Baroque period by taking a detailed look inside the life, career, and even home of Bach- explore where and how Bach and his family lived, discuss Bach’s music, and talk about the techniques of Baroque music as a whole. But what is a fugue and how did we get it? To find out, we enter the world of Baroque music and famed master of the fugue, Johann Sebastian Bach. Not available on SACD.Novelists, poets, painters, mathematicians, and even geologists talk about 'fugue-like' structure in their media and disciplines.
