Most of his work was written for a femal ensemble from a orphanage for poor children, where Vivaldi worked at the time.
Another very famous Baroque composer is Johann Sebastain Bach. Bach was a German composer, organist harpsichordist, and violinist. Even though he did not introduce a new style, he enhanced the German style by usuing a rapid control of harmonic and motivic organization along with rythms, forms, and textures from Italy and France. Some of Bach's most famous work is the Brandenburg concertos, Goldberg variations, Partitas, The Well Tempted Clavier, and The Mass in B minor.
As an organist, Bach was highly respeced throughout Europe, even though he was not a very well known artist until he started perfotrming again in the late 19th century. Now, he is known as one of the greatest composers of all time.
My second favorite period would have to be the romantic period. The romantic period was an era of many changes. Unlike the classical era, which had many laws of balance and restraint, the romantic period allowed musical freedom and experimentation. The music in this period was very expressive with the melody as the dominant feature.
One of the most famous composers of the romantic period was Beethoven. He was a German composer and pianist. He is one of the most influencial and most famous composers of all time. His biggest downfall was when he started to become deaf. And even after he could no longer hear, he continued to compose, conduct, and perform.
