Homework: The mid-1700s saw a relatively brief, transitional style of music called the "Gallant" or "Sensitive" Style, exemplified in the music of the first two sons of JS Bach: Wilhelm Friedemann Bach and Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. How is their music different from the music of their father? The "Gallant" is a Germanic school of music--but which other European culture does it move toward? How does this style move us away from the Baroque style and toward the later, Classical style of Mozart?
