In 1600, the musical baroque was born. This new genre featured music of unprecedented emotion and passion. As it grew, new forms were added; it eventually evolved into the classical style which emphasized grace, poise, and balance. This remarkable development is traced with a focus on Monteverdi, Bach, Haydn, and Beethoven.
