In the next programme in the “about Music” series, we are looking at Musical Fingerprints Part 2, following on from Part 1 of last September.
What are these?
These are the unique characteristics of individual composers, periods of music, musical styles and specific compositional types, that an observant listener will immediately identify.

Today is about recognising the sound of a Baroque orchestra, vs a Classical orchestra, vs a Romantic orchestra, vs a Modern (20th century) orchestra.
Even if this is something you already know, join me anyway for music by Bach, Haydn, Schumann, and Bartok. Johan Sebastian Bach: Brandenburg Concerto No 1 in F Major BWV 1046 First Movement: Allegro Performed by the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center · Fourth Movement: Performed by The Mozart Orchestra Bologna and soloists conducted by Claudi Abbado · Joseph Haydn: Symphony No 1 in D Major H.I.1 First Movement: Presto Performed by the Academy of Ancient Music conducted by Christopher Hogwood · Third Movement: Presto Performed by the Austro-Hungarian Haydn Orchestra, conducted by Adam Fischer · Robert Schumann: Symphony No 1 in B flat Opus 38 “Spring” First Movement: Andante un poco maestoso – Allegro molto con vivace Performed by the Berliner Philharmoniker conducted by Herbert von Karajan · Fourth Movement: Allegro animato e grazioso Performed by the Berliner Philharmoniker conducted by Herbert von Karajan · Bela Bartok: Concerto for Orchestra First Movement: Introduzione (Andante non troppo – Allegro vivace) Performed by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra conducted by Sir Georg Solti · Fifth Movement: Finale (Pesante – Presto) Performed by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra conducted by Sir Georg Solti
