Baroque vs. Pop Music

I. Johann Sebastian Bach- Partita No. 3, BVW 1006 | Hilary Hahn
  a. Contains elision
     ex. around 40 seconds it goes on for awhile then goes softer and softer but then it picks up again
  b. Long melody
     ex. overall piece was a very long super human solo
  c. Cadence
     ex. at about 3:30 there was a cadence, I assume there is more but I didn't listen to the ENTIRE thing.

II. The Weekend- The Hills
  a. Doesn't really have a long melody
    ex. repeats more of the chorus rather than creating a new melody
 b. you can expect it to end
NOT SURE IF I DID THIS SECTION RIGHT

III. They both work for each piece because they are both different, therefore the listener is intrigued to hear the variation the way I was.

IV. To be honest, I prefer the second one because it is more common in music now whereas the baroque music makes me think of the old age.
