1. Digital bass (continuo bass) is the iconic feature of Baroque music, and its emergence led to the birth of harmony , and led to the emergence of the major and minor key system.

3. The development and innovation of counterpoint are important factors for polyphonic music to reach its peak.

4. Main-key music has made great progress.

5. Instrumental music has developed unprecedentedly, with genres including toccata, prelude, fantasy, fugue, variations, suite, sonata, concerto, etc.

6. The main vocal music genres used in this period include: Mass, motet, hymn, opera, oratorio, cantata, Passion, etc.

7. The violin series replaced the plucked instruments of the Renaissance.

8. The German pipe organ and the French fortepiano have achieved high artistic achievements.

9. The Frenchman Rameau (1683-1764) wrote theoretical works on harmony such as "A Tutorial on Harmony", which laid the foundation for modern harmony theory.

10. Improvisation has more characteristics than any other era. It is freer and more profound in the treatment of decorative tunes, changing themes, cadences and counterpoints.
