    Differences of Stile Antico and Stile Moderno When the general public thinks of Baroque music‚ they might think of the High Court sounding French concerto‚ or one of Bach’s many and well-known fugues. These highly structured pieces with their vigorous counterpoint and technical brilliance might be considered “tight” and “incredibly mechanical.” However‚ these pieces though full of well thought out lines‚ phrases‚ and ornamented passages are not driven by the writers will to keep the music enslaved in rules
