The violoncello in the musical aesthetic of the second half of the 18th century in Germany: The Empfindsamer Stil in cello music by C.P.E Bach

About this exposition

This research has focused on the study of the Empfindsamkeit aesthetic, a German musical style that emerged during the second half of the 18th century and that would establish the first foundations of an early Romanticism. Being an aesthetic largely focused on works for harpsichord and flute, the focus of this research has been directed to deepen this musical style from the cello, giving a new perspective of study. For this purpose, the second movement of the Cello Concerto in A major Wq. 172 by C.P.E. Bach has been chosen as a case of study, making a theoretical and practical analysis of it. This analysis has allowed us, on the one hand, to approach this aesthetic through this instrument and to reflect on what characteristics of this style we find in the selected piece and on the other hand, it has served as a guide to find out if there is more cello repertoire within this aesthetic. The chosen format to present this work is through a Research exposition, in which I will not only explain the background of this musical aesthetic, but also I will explain my analysis and my personal experience studying this piece trying to approach as much as possible to the Empfindsamkeit
