Depends. One thing I've always loved about baroque music is how a lot of it seems to be 'superimposed' between joy and melancholy – and can shift its mood in an instant.

True. And come to think of it, this mood shifting is in direct oppositiobn to the Affektenlehre, which was supposed to rule supreme.  :)
