From the Paper:
"During the 18th C., decoration and elegance were the predominant elements of style in the art and music of Europe. This development in the arts was encouraged by the aristocratic patrons of the time. Because they considered themselves to be sophisticated, refined, and cultured, these patrons demanded that artists create ornamental works which reflected these qualities. This type of superficial elegance can be seen even in the clothing fashions which were popular among the high society of the time. In the field of painting, this style reached its height in the rococo works of Antoine Watteau and Francois Boucher. In music, this approach was manifested in the galant style, as represented in the compositions of Leonardo Vinci, Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, Giuseppe Tartini, and Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, among others."More papers on Rococo Art and Galant Music:
