Galant Texture
Creator:
Lucas Robatto, flute. Pedro Robatto, clarinet. Orquestra Sinfonica da Bahia, Luiz Malheiro, conductor
Description:
This is an example of the thin texture preferred in the galant style. It is an excerpt from the 18th century work Sinfonia Concertante for flute, clarinet and orchestra by Franz Danzi. The accompaniment is homophonic and has little activity going on behind the melody. This is a change from the previous baroque style, which often featured dense polyphonic accompaniment.
