1680-1760

The line that divides the middle and late Baroque is a matter open to debate. One is that it could go from 1680 to 1720, because there was no on synchronized transition. However the important time that the transition was evident was when the Baroque music was fully absorbed that tonality was a principal structure.

 The transition between Baroque and the early Classical era is bordered by the mixture of competing ideas and attempts to unify the different demands of tastes, economics and worldview.
