In the Baroque and Classical period, “yearning for the East” manifested itself in expressions of exoticism, or a taste for the bizarre, the fantastical and the picturesque that infused all artistic domains, especially those of literature and the arts (and music for example Les Paladins, Les Indes galantes...). is desire developed even further during the Romantic period when the connections between Europe and the Far East expanded rapidly. …
