I don't know enough about music to be sure of the time period, but the last
book by Kate Ross, "The Devil in Music" deals with opera. The time period is
early 18th century. It is a wonderful book and an excellent mystery, too.

The opinions are my own; the library wouldn't want 'em!

Here are some titles that I hope might work:
Maurensig, Paolo
Canone inverso : a novel

Hersey, John
Antonietta: a novel

Rice, Anne
Violin

Weiss, David.
Sacred and profane; a novel of the life and times of Mozart.

Weiss, David.
The assassination of Mozart

Bastable, Bernard.
Dead, Mr. Mozart

Bastable, Bernard.
Too many notes, Mr. Mozart

Neider, Charles,
Mozart and the archbooby

Morike, Eduard Friedrich.
Mozart on the way to Prague

Seems like Mozart is the most popular character for this type of
fiction!

The music isn't of the period specified. And the time period is Regency
Italy/English character. BUT the book is wonderful. Kate Ross has written
several other mysteries. They should be included in any library.

These opinions are only my own.

I don't have any titles to suggest, but can't resist pointing out that
Mozart was a Classical, not a Baroque, composer. The Baroque period in
music ended in 1750, which was the year of Johann Sebastian Bach's death.

I realize that Mozart was a not a Baroque composer, but there were so many
books using him and his music as a theme that I thought the customer might
enjoy them since there don't seem to be many books with a strictly Baroque
connection. Thanks to those who have pointed out the error of my ways...

What about Cry to heaven, by Anne Rice. It is about opera and male castrati who sang the female parts in the operas performed during the 1700's. I read it YEARS ago and that's all I remember.
