They have similarities and differences in their style of composition. This essay would focus on their differences in style. Their styles are different in many ways and most people would focus on their use of melody, harmony or rhythm but this essay would focus on their use of basso continuo. The way Bach uses basso continuo in his music is what makes Bach’s style distinct from Vivaldi’s.
It is one of the most distinct features of the Baroque Era as a whole. Basso continuo denotes musicians who thickened the textures in music of the Baroque era by augmenting the bass line with a combination of chord-producing and bass instruments.

While The Rite of Spring and Rhapsody in Blue both acted as catalysts for change in classical music, they are different in their structure and their style; however, The Rite of Spring is better. Ultimately, The Rite of Spring and Rhapsody in Blue changed in classical music. The Rite of Spring is considered a piece that changed about everything there was to know about music.
