How did the music change? How did it stay the same? What old or new genres were used or re-invented? What genres,
inherited from the Baroque period were continually used? Did composers change any characteristics of the
“old” genres? Who were the major composers? Did some change the number of movements, for example? Did
the orchestras change in size and makeup? How? Did the role of music in society change? How? Did the
societal changes affect the type of music that was written?
