Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) was a German composer and musician of the Baroque period. He is considered one of the greatest musical geniuses of all time. He was a master of polyphony and brought to perfection the musical form of the fugue. He composed 1126 musical compositions of various forms (they are referred to by the abbreviation BWV and serial number). In his time, Bach became famous mainly as a keyboard player, but as a composer he was less known. His music was perceived as conservative, and after his death it fell into oblivion for almost fifty years.

Georg Friedrich Händel (1685 - 1759) was a German organist, harpsichordist, teacher and composer of the Baroque period, who left humanity a unique artistic heritage. We know more than 600 compositions from him, and many of his operas and oratorios are among the most valuable in European music. His music is generally characterized as festive, royal and attractive.

Henry Purcell (1659–1695) was the most important English composer of the Baroque period. He is historically considered one of the greatest composers in Great Britain. Purcell used elements of contemporary Italian and French music in his music and he helped to create a special British Baroque style of music, the features of which can be found much later in the work of modern English composers. Although Henry Purcell died at the age of thirty-six, he was a very prolific composer and the number of his works is close to five hundred. He composed both secular music (operas, music for theater plays, instrumental compositions) and spiritual music (chants, cantatas and spiritual songs).
