Answer
Traditional orchestras, as we know them today, owe their evolution in part to the contributions of Arcangelo Corelli, an Italian violinist and composer of the Baroque era. Corelli's profound impact lies in his instrumental works, particularly his concerti grossi, which laid the foundation for the standard orchestral structure of distinct sections — strings, woodwinds, and brass — that became the cornerstone of classical music ensembles.
