The Baroque and Classical eras are two distinct periods in the history of Western classical music, each characterized by unique musical styles, forms, and aesthetics. Here are the main distinctions between these two eras:

Baroque period (1600-1750): **
1. **Ornamentation and Contrast:**Baroque music is known for its elaborate ornamentation and its use of contrasting textures and dynamics. Composers often used ornamentation to embellish melodies and add expressiveness to their compositions.

2. **Basso Continuo:** The basso continuo, consisting of a bass line and a keyboard instrument (harpsichord or organ), was a hallmark of Baroque music. It provided harmonic support and allowed improvisation.

3. **Terrace dynamics:** Baroque music often used terrace dynamics, where the volume changed abruptly from a loud level to a soft level. This was achieved through the use of contrasting instrument groups, such as strings and brass.

4. **Polyphony:**Polyphony, or the interweaving of several independent melodic lines, was a common feature of Baroque music. Composers used techniques such as fugues and canons to showcase complex counterpoint.

5. **Genres:** The most important Baroque forms include the opera, oratorio, cantata, suite, and concerto grosso. Composers like Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel were central figures of the Baroque era.

Classical period (1750-1820): **
1. **Simplicity and Clarity: **Classical music is characterized by its emphasis on simplicity, clarity and balanced structures. Composers aimed for a more natural expression of emotion and emphasized clarity of melody and harmony.

2. **Homophony:**Homophonic texture, where a single melody is supported by harmonies, has become prevalent in classical music. This allowed for greater clarity in the transmission of the main melody.

3. **Symmetrical Phrasing:**Classical compositions often feature symmetrical phrases and balanced structures. Phrases typically have four measures, contributing to a sense of order and proportion.

4. **Sonata-Allegro Form:** The sonata-allegro form, with its distinct exposition, development, and recapitulation sections, became a central structural pattern in classical compositions, particularly in symphonies and sonatas .

5. **Emphasis on instrumental music:** Although vocal music remains important, the classical era witnessed a rise in instrumental music, including the symphony, string quartet, and from the piano sonata.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Joseph Haydn and Ludwig van Beethoven are among the most notable composers of the classical era.

In summary, the Baroque era is characterized by ornamentation, polyphony and contrast, while the Classical era emphasizes simplicity, clarity and balanced structures.<end_of_turn><eos>
