Did the modern orchestra developed during the Baroque period?

The modern orchestra began to take shape in the Baroque period (approximately 1600-1750), as composers started to write more complex music that required a variety of instruments. This era saw the establishment of string sections and the inclusion of woodwinds, brass, and percussion, setting the foundation for the orchestral ensemble. However, the fully developed modern orchestra, as we know it today, emerged later during the Classical and Romantic periods, with further expansion and standardization of instrument groups.
