Flute is the general name for wind instruments with wooden lips (often made of metal, silver, or gold nowadays). The most common variations of the flute are the grand flute (most popular) and the piccolo.
One of the most important forms created in the Baroque era is the suite. It is a series of dances that, along with Bach and Handel, were organized into the following four main dances...
The word symphony comes from the Greek words syn- and phone, which the Greeks used to define concepts related to 'harmony'. Since the 18th century, this term began to be used in relation to a musical form mainly derived from the sonata, but also from the prelude, suite, and overture.
