One difference between Baroque and Classical period music is the use of ornamentation. Baroque music is known for its intricate and elaborate ornamentation, with ornate melodic lines and embellishments. In contrast, Classical period music tends to be simpler and more restrained in terms of ornamentation, focusing on clarity, balance, and symmetry in the composition. Classical composers like Mozart and Haydn emphasized structure and form over the ornate extravagance of the Baroque era.
