There are records of this. And you can study the scores and compare

those to others of the same period. Or just listen.
There are other examples of this. Listen to Monteverdi's 'Orfeo'

and will find harmony that became 'not done' in later periods, only

to return again much later.
Carlo Gesualdo di Venosa is another example. His music was judged

'weird' in his time. BTW, today is the ideal day to listen to his

fascinating 'Tenebrae' for maundy thursday. You'll have to dim all

the lights.
