Baroque to classical

[Kevin]

How easy would it be to change a short piece in a baroque style to a classical style?

[Ed Sharpe]

My first thought is WHY?

Easy/Hard would really depend on the source material and what you are trying to achieve.

Well Ed (and anyone else) I bit the bullet and had a go. I think I managed the classical one okay. Someone asked me to show a difference in a short section of the Water Music in two different styles. Not being as studious as many here I just had a go. I am waiting to hear back as to if it was okay or not!

Any chance we can hear it? In my mind such a transition would be easier with Handel than Bach, but I haven't tried it. Tell us more about what and how you did it.

I sent the example to the person requiring it. They used it as a guide and made a few tweaks. I can understand them doing that! There really is not much to say as it was only a dozen bars that they needed.
