In the next installment of the "Classical Music for Beginners" series, we take a look at the Baroque Era, an ornamentative, over the top, and a bit excessive, era of music. We'll also talk about how major parts of classical music came to be, like the creation of the opera and the orchestra. And of course, we'll talk about some of the greatest composers, especially Johann Sebastian Bach
