It is not a secret that classical music can make us shiver from joy or cry from grief that it expresses. But was it actually the idea? Was it the intention of a composer to evoke strong emotions in the audience? Yes and no – depending on time… What role did emotions play in the music of the Middle Ages? Were happiness, anxiety and sadness treated differently at the times of Bach, Mozart and Chopin? The history of emotions in music is rich and intriguing. Let us discover a few milestones on this path.
