Talk:List of Baroque composers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
i was just wondering, wasn't mozart a baroque composer, i mean if you look at his music he's made there's so much counterpoint so much elaboration i'd think he'd be part of this era but he wasn't on the list.

[edit] List order
I see why this list is broken into different periods within the Baroque period, but I question the wisdom of putting it in DoB order, since for some many of these composers the DoB is either not specific or disputed between sources. I would propose an alphabetical listing within periods for ease of use. I'll wait a few days and see if there are any disputes, then do it. (BTW if there's already some long policy discussion about this I've missed, feel free to point me there.) Makemi 23:09, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
It seems like an alphabetical list by last name would be helpful. That could possibly still be under the big timeline constraints (Early, Late, ...). --Amazzing5 16:22, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Order?
I see how the composers are broken down into periods within the different time periods, but should we alphabeticaly order the names instead of by date?? Should we consider the ordering of all composers in all the different periods? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nuclearmound (talk • contribs)
[edit] By nationality
With the current layout, this list is almost useless. I think the composers should be firstly ordered by nationality, and then, under each nationality, by period - just like in the List of Renaissance composers.Nuno Raimundo (talk) 14:37, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Date
I think that we should keep the current listing since there are so many composers in the Baroque period. People can find the composers they want the quickest way through this method since almost each composer's name on a score has the composer's birth and death date.I am a violinist (talk) 13:28, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
