Having listened to much Bach's organ music and classical music in general there are certain chords never heard.
Namely Minor 7th, Major 7th, Minor 6th, Augmented chords and Flat 5 chords.
These above chords are chiefly associated with soulful, bluesy, romantic or jazzy popular music.
But we do surprisingly, get dominant 7ths and diminished chords in some of Bach's works, which chords are also commonly associated with bluesy or jazzy popular music.
Odd time signatures, as 5/4 and 12/8, are also avoided in classical music. Seldom are exciting syncopated beats heard in classical music as well. There doesn't seem to much in the way of chromaticism in Bach either. This is more a thing again of sophisticated popular music.
Is there any contemporary music which combines the elegance of classical music with the sophistication of jazz's harmonies and rhythms? Is there jazz music with a particularly "Baroque" flavor?
