The baroque period in music lasted, broadly speaking, from 1600 to 1750. J S Bach died in 1750. However, it is important not to make too strong a link between those facts. Other great composers of the baroque outlived Bach; for example, Handel lived until 1759 and Telemann until 1767. One period in music does not end and another begin overnight. Some composers had already started to compose in the new 'classical' style before 1750, while others were still writing in the baroque style after that date.
