Guest Calx Sherbet Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 this is really good. i have always wondered if there were experimental composers during baroque times that were shunned from the music society. composers that no one will ever hear about again, and sheets of really unusual music that were never played Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as you say, Bach being the main exception, twats like vivaldi inevitably get more attention simply because they were less innovative/ talented which is what the public like (most classical fans are no exception to this rule, just a bit older and more middle class).
