First of all, it should be clear that although polyphony is the most important musical texture in baroque music, baroque can be regarded as the temporary end of polyphony. Polyphony, as a creative method, gradually came to an end in the Baroque period, and was replaced by a creative method of main melody music dominated by debugging function system. This great turning point is an important link in the history of western music. Polyphony music did not completely die out, but existed in later creation, but it really revived as the main creative technique in the process of abandoning tonality at the beginning of the 20th century.
