Of particular interest to me is music of the late Baroque, when composers started to think more in terms of "galant": simple, more melodic, but still retaining some of the polyphony of the complex late Baroque compositions.

By chance, I discovered and enjoyed this piece two nights ago –

Johann Adolph Hasse (c. 1699~1783), Sinfonia Op.5 No.6 in G minor, performed by Camerata Barok Istanbul in 2019

Last night was spent exploring late Baroque music, and both the Brain DJ and I thoroughly enjoyed this piece –

Niccolò Jommelli (1714~1774), "Periodical Overture E-flat major": Allegro di molto – Chaconne, op. 3/2

Performed by Concerto Köln, Pablo Heras-Casado conducting, 2013 (released 2014)
