In opera, Interlast moved from recital to Aria, and in church music, the contrast of solos, choruses, and orchestras has largely developed. In the music of the instrument, Sonata appeared in the era, and in particular the Concerto Grosso was like the music of Corelli, Vivaldi, Handel and Bach. Most baroque music uses continuous music.

The most successful composer is Christoph Willibald Gluck (1714-1787). The theme of renovation of opera is not new. Gluck's opera Orfeo ed Euridice talks about the legend of Orpheus, Orpheus of the famous Montville 150 years ago.
