Hearing is believing. You can explain that baroque relied on fugues and ground bass and all that. That it was fractal in nature--small riffs that made up larger riffs which made up even larger riffs.
Romantic, as the name implies, is much more emotional music. Baroque had a more cold intelligence to it. You're also skipping a period between baroque and romantic.
But all the explaining in the world doesn't mean squat if they can't hear it.
