The philosophy of the gallant-style lecture

By Ulrich Hofmayer

The galant style in piano music is the most important precursor to the Viennese Classical period, which represents a crucial stylistic era for pianists. In this book, the author aims primarily to shed light on the performance and key attributes of the galant style, as well as the philosophy underpinning it. Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, as well as Johann Joachim Quantz and Daniel Gottlob T rk, provide very clear guidelines on how to interpret music in the galant style. For this reason, the author is particularly keen in his work to shed light on those aspects of piano playing (from the time of C. Ph. E. Bach) that remain relevant to this day.
