Residents of Andalucia are intimately related to flamenco, and most flamenco performers have at least one classic Sevillana in their repertoire. The style originated as a Medieval Castilian folk dance, called the ‘Seguidilla’, which was slowly "flamenconized" during the 18th and 19th centuries. The songs of flamenco are from different regions in Spain as: Fandangos from Huelva and Alegrias from Cadiz. There are two main styles in Flamenco, "jondo", this has a serious and deep meaning.

Carl Philipp Emmanuel Bach was one of the most influential musicians of the Enlightenment. Trained by his father, J. S. Bach, he served on the Court of Frederick the Great, became musical director of five churches in Hamburg, and composed numerous oratorios, songs, symphonies, concertos and chamber music. It is in the second movement of the fourth of his Sechs Clavier-Sonaten fur Kenner und Liehaber (Six Clavier Sonatas for Connoisseurs and Amateurs) where the main characteristics of the empfindsam style are present. The empfindsam style, or sentimental style, is most closely associated with C. P. E. Bach. It is characterized by surprising turns of harmony, chromaticism, nervous rhythms, and free, speech like melody.
