The Empfindsamer Stil (literally sensitive style) was a style of musical composition developed in 18th century Germany, intended to express "true and natural" feelings, and featuring sudden contrasts of mood. It was developed as a contrast to the Baroque doctrine of affections, in which a composition (or movement) would have the same affect, or emotion, throughout.
Composers in this style include:
- Wilhelm Friedemann Bach, the eldest son of J.S. Bach
- C.P.E. Bach
- Johann Joachim Quantz
