FALSE. Polyphony or polyphonic texture did not become popular until the late Baroque, when Bach and Handel lived.
The instrumental suite typically consists of a collection of musical pieces or movements designed to be performed by a group of instruments, often showcasing a variety of styles and themes. It can include orchestral works, chamber music, or arrangements for specific ensembles. Each movement in the suite may highlight different instruments or moods, allowing for a diverse listening experience. Common examples include Baroque suites that feature dance forms such as allemande, courante, and gigue.
Bach wrote a lot of choral, church and religious music and was German influenced. Vivaldi's music is more ornate and quite descriptive music and Italian influenced. Bach blurs the distinction between tutti and soloist in themes and texture whereas Vivaldi gives different themes to orchestra and to soloists. he also emphasizes the woodwind instruments. Both were baroque composers and wrote well-known music such as; Bach-brandenburg concertos and Vivaldi-the four seasons. Hope it could be of help.
The clarinet.
An orchestra is a large instrumental ensemble or group that contains brass, string, percussion, and woodwind instruments. The development of orchestras motivated the composers of the baroque period to write specifically for orchestras and made an influence on the types of instruments being created during that time period (examples: the violin, the cello, and the piano).

Boxwood was used frequently for baroque woodwind instruments. Mostly Flutes and Clarinets but I have seen one or two oboes.
String Instruments
Baroque orchestras typically use period instruments, so the instruments that baroque composers would have originally composed for. This can create a more authentic experience for audience members with a sound that isn't heard with modern instruments.
saxsbut, clavichord, viola, violin, cello, clarinets, flute, bassoon... any combination in trio works well and all together in baroque orchestra.
The instruments were tuned to the Oboe which could keep the tune up and not like the string instruments which got out of tune. Remember the Baroque orchestra did not have standardization.
