"Baroque music is that in which the harmony is confused, charged with modulations and dissonances, the melody harsh, the intonation difficult, and the movement constrained". - Jean-Jacques Rousseau

The emotional world of High Baroque music, in comparison to late Renaissance music, can be described as extravagant and unbridled. Thinkers of this age literally catalogued the full range of emotional
states, and they wrote about how these passions or “affections” [cf. Affektenlehre] were to be expressed theatrically and musically.
