Ah yes, I forgot all about ze Italian and ze Spanish composers. (Our ambassador Michel Dupont tried to keep them avay from us!)

Of course, Galuppi is vat you earthlings call "BAE". ('Owever, 'is composition style is more classical, M. Dupont protests.)
Of course, Manuel de Falla vas real nice to write "Fantasia BAEtica", but it is not very "BAE"


Also, one of our abducted earthlings, from a place 'e calls "Espana", talks about 'is love of Scarlatti and Soler. ('Owever, is Soler considered baroque? 'is compositions reflect ze baroque style, but he lived during the Roccoco age.)

I guess he's more of a bridge composer...

Mon dieu! "Ooh lala", as Monsier Dupont would say.

Carlos Seixas wrote nice Sonatas, no?
