Sensitive style

Sensitive style

The Empfindsamer Stil (literally "sensitive style") is a style of musical composition developed in 18th century Germany, intended to express "true and natural" feelings, and featuring sudden contrasts of mood. It was developed as a contrast to the Baroque doctrine of affections, in which a composition (or movement) would have the same affect, or emotion, throughout.

Gottfried August Homilius (1714–1785) was the main representative of the empfindsamer style.

Other composers in this style include:
*Wilhelm Friedemann Bach, the eldest son of J.S. Bach
*C.P.E. Bach, the second eldest son of J.S. Bach
*Johann Joachim Quantz
*Carlos Seixas

ee also

*Sturm und Drang
*Galant
*Singspiel
