Galant style

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. 

Syncopation, includes variety rhythm which interrupted the regular rhythm and emphasize on weakness beats. This is audio is from Edouard Du Puy's Ouverture. The upper strings apart; contrast to lower strings, use syncopation to make music more interesting. This is an common technique on galant music. 

This excerpt is the principal theme of the third and final movement (Rondo allegretto) of Franz Danzi's Sinfonia Concertante in E-flat major.  The Concertante features a woodwind concertino of four soloists on flute, oboe, horn, and bassoon, supplemented by a full ripieno of strings, oboe, and horn.  In this recording, the concertino's part is played on a pianoforte.  A contemporary of Mozart, Franz Danzi was an important composer during the Classical period in Western classical music.  The theme is composed in a clearly galant style, with the melodic material in the flute part, and the accompanying harmonies in the oboe, horn, and bassoon parts.  As is typical for rondo form, the principal theme acts as a refrain to which the piece returns after multiple digressions to other themes.  Recorded on an iPhone SE.

Serenades are typically calm, light music. In this clip,the solo flute begins a simple sweet phrase, with the solo cello answering back, and functions as a secondary melody. A gentle pizzicato accompaniment pulsing through, the conversation between the solo cello and flute continues until 8 measures later, the cello takes over, as the primary melody, filled with such tenderness and delight, melting into the night.

This clip presents a melodic interchange between solo brass (horn and trombone) and the violins, while other voices join force establish harmony, and rhythmically push forward. It also shows the musical contrast between the solos and tutti.
