Instrumental music became as important as vocal music for the first time in the baroque period.
Explanation:
The vocal predominance of Italian Baroque music recommended the accessory use of violins, harpsichords and portable organs. The violons, for example, only appeared there in 1650 and only in Venice, because of the intense exchange with Germany. Also commonly used were clarinet, chalumeau and viole all'inglese. The oboe and transverse flute were only adopted in the last baroque stage.
Music production in Italy was so abundant in Baroque that it stifled all foreign initiatives. Even in the classical period this predominance remained, at least in the field of opera.
Florentines had invented opera to perfect dramatic art. Instead, a genre emerged that the French and Italians came to call "lyric art."
I am writing this letter to inform you of my absence in the next three days of school. I am deeply sorry because I realize how important these days would have been for group work in the classroom. I do not deny that I feel guilty for the work I will entrust to my friends. To avoid this matter I can repeat alone my part of the project as soon as I get back to class. I hope you will answer my email soon.
