Hmm, no Vivaldi or Handel. I like Baroque music a lot.

Agreed. Omitting Handel is unforgivable. As Bach was for instrumental music, Handel was for the voice. His music was/is of such exquisite refinement, invention, and perfection that it is not for nothing that Haydn, Beethoven, and Mozart regarded him as the greatest composer of all.

Vivaldi and Handel are both greats, too. Gabrieli should be mentioned. Coreli. So many that had no models to draw from and that pioneered musical harmonies and forms that we still use today.

If it’s not Baroque, don’t fix it.
