There are many more today. Of course there are still composers, performers, theorists, and teachers - disciplines that have existed for centuries - but social progress and technological advances have changed the roles that most people fill in the industry. For example, audio engineering, music for film, sampling, etc. didn't exist in the Baroque era.
Composers who were writing before computer technology was around would often have engravers/copyists working for them - producing all the parts for the musicians playing their music. Modern composers, on the other hand, are expected to write, orchestrate, engrave, and create mock-ups of their music. It doesn't fly anymore to just be able to compose - you have to be familiar with music technology.
Musicians today are expected to have much more diverse skills than they did 400 years ago, but there are, at the same time, many more options for careers in the music business.

What is bach's relationship to the baroque period?

What kind of music is the harpsichord famous for?
The harpsichord is originally famous for participating in FOLK music, a it has sharp, high pitched notes. FOLK music is quick and has a continuous speed so the notes need to be sharp and quick.
How was baroque music and modern music alike and differe?
I would say one way they are are alike is the emphasis placed on a driving rhythm. They differ greatly in harmonic content. Much of the popular music today uses very limited harmonies, while baroque music used complex harmonies and modulations.
Most of the baroque music you hear today comes from which baroque period?
Music from the baroque period was great masterpieces from composers such as J.S. Bach and L. v. Beethoven. One of the major things the differenciates music from the Baroque period to any other is that the majority of music written at the time were composed and performed on a harpsichord, which is like a piano in many respects but it has no dynamic contrast and has two sets of keys (one on top, one on bottom) and pieces were written specificlly for the harpsichord and maybe a small ensemble but not a whole orchestra. Just as Pop music originated from America and reggae originated from Jamaica, Baroque music originated from Central Europe (Germany, Italy, Austria etc) and is still the home of Classical music today. Also, Baroque music usually consists of simple, easy-to-remember melodies because this was sort of the first real genre and composers were at a walking pace when it came to composing so did not want to over-complicate themselves (if that makes any sense at all!) That is all I know about the Baroque period, hope it helps!

What is baroque pop?
I'm not sure if this is what you mean but, baroque is not the same as pop.Baroque was very popular in the 17th century, I'm pretty sure that pop wasn't.It was written by people like Handel and Vivaldi. Look up the Four Seasons by Vivaldi and that, is true baroque.Violin GirlyTry this Baroque pop is to pop music what progressive rock is to rock music. It's a more complex form, likely to have more varied instrumentation and/or more ambitious song structures. Whilst the term baroque originated in 1960's music journalism due to a trend of using the harpsichord in pop songs, today it is often used by music journalists in another definition of baroque, which is to say it is more ornate and complex than most pop music. Referring to modern artists the two most often cited are the classically influenced ornate pop songs of Rufus Wainwright, and the complex arrangements of Sufjan Stevens' music with their non-standard time signatures, instrumentation and counterpoints.
