The Development of Instruments and Instrumental Music in the Late Renaissance and Baroque Eras

Before the Baroque era, music was rarely written for musical instruments, but most commonly the music played with instruments was originally used for sound. The history of the Baroque period dates from 1600 to 1750. Meanwhile, instruments have been improved and composers began writing music for specific instruments. Music is increasingly popular in the middle class and amateur musicians are starting to grow apart from churches and courts. Instrumental music from the late Renaissance period to the early Baroque period is interchangeably called Sonata, Concerto and Music.

The main difference between Renaissance and baroque instruments is whether instruments, or instruments, are used in specific works. If a composer does not understand the capabilities of different musical instruments or is indifferent, there is no reason for them to explain the instruments they desire, so closely related to this concept is the concept of habitual writing is. According to David Schulenberg, the composer of the Renaissance did not use general rules to determine the instrument to play. The range includes the range of instruments. "They do not necessarily care about the sound of a single instruments nor the ability to use instruments, for example, the concept of the quartet for shell dedicated quartet and half wall shot is obviously a foreigner of a Renaissance composer.

Text is important for Renaissance and Baroque composers. However, the processing method is very different. Renaissance ideals are several independent sound lines, each with its own transformation and focus. From the beginning of the 17th century to the middle of the 17th century, this trend moved toward the soprano base polarity that the melody was sung from this polyphonic ideal and the accompaniment instrument played the baseline. In the late Baroque period of the early 18th century, polyphony returned to popularity. Late Baroque polyphony is different from Renaissance polyphony. It comes from the harmony of richness, accuracy, and tonality characterized by rhythm of driving.
