Galant Melody

Creator: 
Lenia I. Bolano
Description: 

The melody in the Galant style interrupts the preceding melodic tendency with a sequence of short, well-defined phrases of two to four measures in length. These phrases establish a period and a melodic style that is characterized by frequent cadences. The melody from the beginning of Mozart Flute Concerto in G (K.313) is an example of the characteristics of the melody in the Galant style.
