Answer

Empfindsamer Stil, or the "sensitive style," was a musical movement that emerged in the mid-18th century, predominantly in Germany.

Composers such as Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, Christoph Willibald Gluck, and Joseph Haydn were prominent exponents of this style, which influenced the development of Classical music.
