Can you describe the evolution of the orchestra from the Baroque to the Modern Era?

Generally, the formation of orchestras in each of four periods can be summarized :Baroque orchestras had from 10 to 30 players, primarily strings.Classical orchestras used 30 to 60 players in four sections: strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion.Romantic orchestras had as many as 100 players or more, and featured greater use of brass and piano.Modern orchestras are a bit smaller than in the Romantic Era (symphony and other very large orchestras still exist). Some may focus on the unique (or even bizarre) sounds of individual instruments.

How many members was in an orchestra long ago?

Long ago, orchestras typically had significantly fewer members than modern ensembles. In the Baroque period, for example, orchestras often consisted of around 10 to 30 musicians, primarily featuring strings, woodwinds, and a few brass instruments. By the Classical and Romantic periods, the size began to expand, but it still varied widely depending on the composer and specific work. Overall, early orchestras were much smaller and more intimate compared to the large symphonic orchestras of today, which can have 100 or more musicians.
