The Baroque period is also known for a great expansion in classical music.  During this period, the piano became more prominent and began to replace the harpsichord as an orchestral instrument.  Baroque composers include [[George Frideric Handel]], [[Antonio Vivaldi]], and [[Johann Sebastian Bach]]. The period is characterized by tiered [[dynamics]] and the introduction of the Italian form (for the [[concerto]]) and the [[Sonata]] form (as a widely adopted musical organizational structure).
