huía del aburrimiento por medio de un arte entusiasta, sin pretensiones

part of a social class that was running out from the aburrimiento through
an enthusiastic art with no transcendental pretensions.
4. Rococo style in music occupies a really specific transition from
Baroque style to Classical era. Rococo music has diluted the highly
complex polyphonic structures of the Baroque period into a lighter,
simpler yet very ornamented elegant style of musical expression.
5. New style called for instrumental music to delight the ear with
intricate ornamentation, memorable melodies, and positive
disposition. Many composers were happy to oblige these new
musical tastes. Rococo art and music are remarkably symbiotic as
they both embody the cult of elegance and grace.
