Today I'll be playing works that lie solidly within the Baroque and Classical periods and works on the leading edge of change into and out of the Classical period. New instruments, social change and the unique talent of some composers were instrumental (yes, I wrote that on purpose) in the process of change. Composers we'll listen to include Scarlatti, Telemann, Handel, JS Bach, CPE Bach, Gluck, Haydn, Mozart, Salieri, Boccherini and Beethoven.
