It's like any other era. There are people with strong profiles and people without. If you gave me enough time, I could probably distinguish works of Handel, Bach, D. Scarlatti, Zelenka, and Vivaldi, without having heard them before. Corelli, Albinoni, Telemann, Arne, Sammartini, etc. would be much harder. The French Baroque would be impossible for me, only because I don't know a lot of the music. Steve Schwartz
