The Galant style seeks an elegant and noble simplicity that is refined, charming and graceful. The emphasis is on a pleasing, attractive melody, only lightly ornamented and lightly accompanied. The Galant style is also known as Rococo, from the French word rocaille, meaning shell, and is taken from an almost contemporary movement in Fine Arts characterized by decorative surface work such as scrolls or shells. This emphasis on surface features has led some to view the style, or even the entire period, as one of superficiality. Charles Rosen, for example, in The Classical Style, describes Johann Christian Bach's music as "formal, sensitive, charming, undramatic, and a little empty." Running parallel with the Enlightenment, the Galant style would seem to contrast with a philosophy that celebrated Reason and humanity's ability to perfect itself and thus society. However, for Reason to triumph and perfection to be achieved, emotion cannot be allowed to rule. A certain distance comes into play where emotion is acknowledged and felt but is not paramount, thus allowing a path leading to higher thought and true beauty to open. The Galant style embodies this approach, and the cetra, with its shell-like appearance and delicate resonance, is a perfect vehicle for it.The guittar or cetra was a popular instrument for domestic music making in the 18th century. Its size and shape, the sonority of its wire strings and open tuning, made it a favorite choice of polite society, and these also answer to many characteristics of the Galant style. As the famous violinist and composer Francesco Geminiani writes in his The Art of Playing the Guitar or Cittra (1760), "The sweetness and brilliancy of sound peculiar to the Guitar, together with its convenient shape and size, and the easyness of performing on it, has already rendered it extremely fashionable in the polite world: But still it is more deserving of regard, even from good Judges of Music, than is generally apprehended, For the disposition and number of its Strings render it capable of a very full and compleat Harmony." In her Lessons and Instructions for Playing on the Guitar (1760), Ann Ford writes of the instrument's gracefulness, "It has been often wondered at, that an Instrument of this Kind, should, in so short a Time, have become so universal; but had it been in Fashion, when the inimitable Hogarth wrote his ingenious Analysis of Beauty, I doubt not but he would have shewn, that the Attitude this Instrument almost naturally throws the Performer in, is very graceful, and forms the Line of Beauty he so justly has exemplified; not to mention the Advantage ...
