Question

What word(s) were used to describe the classical style during the period?

Answer 1

Answer:

Both Galant & Empfindsam Style .

Explanation:

The Empfindsam Style was a musical style around 1750 that made an intensive use of elements of expression inspired by feeling. The style was represented mainly by the works of composers from northern and central Germany, including, for example, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. The style emerged around 1750 from the bourgeois milieu that became aware of its emerging position in many strata of society, including cultural and artistic. The characteristic of the style was that it was played in small circles and small ensembles, that the harpsichord was widely used for its intimate sound and that the melodic lines were used spiritually, refined, expressive, emotional and mobile.

In turn, the Gallant Style was a musical style of the transition period between the baroque period and the classicist period in the years between approximately 1740 and 1780, but developed in France, sharing the same characteristics of the Empfindsam style, forming together with it the musical rococo.
