Which musical structure is not associated with the Baroque Era?

1 answer

The Baroque Era (approximately 1600-1750) is characterized by specific musical structures and forms, such as the sonata, concerto, suite, and opera. However, the musical structure that is not typically associated with the Baroque Era is the symphony. The symphony became a prominent form in the Classical Era, particularly associated with composers like Haydn and Mozart. Even though there were orchestral works written during the Baroque period, the fully developed symphonic form as recognized in later periods did not emerge until after the Baroque Era.
