Baroque music, spanning from roughly 1600 to 1750, profoundly influenced the development of Western classical music. It introduced key musical forms, such as the concerto, sonata, and opera, along with complex counterpoint and ornamentation, which shaped future composers. Notably, the use of basso continuo and the emphasis on expressiveness laid the groundwork for the Classical era. The emotional depth and intricate structures of Baroque music continue to resonate, inspiring contemporary musicians and composers across various genres.
To become a musician in the Baroque period, one had to be a son of a musician or become an apprentice. Most composers were choir boys who learned about music in choir school.

No, the Renaissance period came slightly before the Baroque period. However, a large number of Baroque composers were influenced by Renaissance music.
