1.
First off, Western art music from the 1600s to the 1750s is referred to as the Baroque Era.
"Exaggerated motion and clear detail used. to produce drama" is one way to describe it. It
was also noted for the extravagance of the buildings and sculptures. It was renowned for its ability to elicit strong feelings and appeal to all senses by keeping things simple and obvious. Because of their emotional and sensory appeal, that era's architecture and art gained notoriety. The use of numerous forms to create intricate architectural structures enhanced the sensuality. In art and architecture, drama is created through vivid colors and
optical illusions. The contrast in the eras structures made the light appear brighter than it was. As a result of all of this, the music was composed to appeal to both passion and drama..
2.
The multimovement cycle that eventually became common in classical instrumental music originated with the suite's emergence during the Baroque era. In both the binary (A-A-B-B) and ternary (A-B-A) forms, the B portion makes the matching shift back and the A part moves from the home key (tonic) to the contrasting key (dominant). The concerto was a composition by Baroque musicians and frequently featured a solo instrument or a small group of soloists performing against a larger ensemble. The first and last movements of concertos typically adhered to the refrain-based ritornello form. Many modern cultures include improvisation in their music frequently. Using both their creative ideas and recognized standards, the musicians will spontaneously develop

counterpoint. The orchestra in the opera plays the overture, starts with the introduction, creates the mood for the various scenes, and frequently plays interludes, or sinfonias. The
supporting orchestra added extra players to provide greater timbre variety as the opera gained popularity and audience. In baroque music, the orchestra has several roles to play.
