Per Aetatem Barocam, tonalitas functionalis orta est, atque compositores, histriones, et acroamata exquisitiorem ornamentationem musicam evolvebant, notationem musicam mutabant, et novas instrumentorum cantorum rationes excogitabant. Musica Baroca magnitudinem, campum, et complexitatem perfunctionis instrumentalis expansit, et operam instituit ut genus musicae. Multa vocabula et notiones musicae huius aetatis iam in usu sunt.
