The evolution of orchestral music
The evolution of orchestral music spans centuries, reflecting the changing tastes, technologies, and cultural contexts of each era. Beginning in the Baroque period, orchestras were relatively small, focusing on strings and harpsichords. The Classical era expanded the orchestra, incorporating woodwinds and brass for a richer sound. The Romantic period saw further growth, with larger orchestras and more varied instruments to achieve greater emotional expression. Modern orchestras continue to evolve, embracing new technologies and contemporary compositions while honouring their rich historical roots.
