Each style of music is unique to its own culture, but brings great similarities
to multiple cultures, even if they have nothing to do with each other or if they are
from different eras. Baroque music comes from the 1600s, deriving from Western
culture. Baroque music is considered to have brought tonality, new music
notation, and a wider use of instruments, such as pianos. Even new musical forms
were being introduced, such as operas, concertos, and oratorios.
Iranian music is more sacred and less secular than what Baroque offered.
Iranian could be considered music fit for the Middle Ages, even in modern times.
Iranian music deviates from Persian music, forming its use in voice where the
singing is more precious than the use of instruments. Only until the modern age
did Iranian music use instruments, but nothing the Western culture would use.
Where the Western culture would use violins, the Iranian culture uses a similar
instrument known as the sitar.
