Talk:Galant

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The article focusses on music, which is only one aspect of the whole phenomenon. Literary artfacts from Madame de Scudéry's novels to Verlaine's Fêtes Galantes (1869) belong into this field, a whole fashion of "gallant conduct" was extremely important in Germany before music adopted the style. One should somehow merge this article and the German parallel-article (which is particularly weak when it comes to music). --Olaf Simons 09:13, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

I agree with the above editor. This page should be an overview of 'galant' style in all its forms. I have just found out that there is already a 'galante music' article, but it is completely different from this one - I suggest the content from here on music gets merged there, and this article is completely rewritten.
