I’m curious, which Bach contemporaries were considered less old fashioned?
- spekcular 4y agoPeople like Vivaldi writing homophonic music.
- Bud 4y agoExcept Vivaldi did nothing of the sort.
- spekcular 4y agoThe Four Seasons is not homophonic music? It varies by season but IIRC there's definitely some homophonic writing in there.
- p1esk 4y agoThe question is not so much about polyphonic versus homophonic it’s about whether concert goers 300 years ago listened to Vivaldi after they listened to Bach and said “finally, a breath of fresh air!” Could very well had been so, who knows.
- heikkilevanto 4y agoBach wrote several transcriptions of Vivaldis music
