I was aware of Weimar Classicism and of Goethe's association with sturm und drang. Perhaps it is that I and possibly others see sturm und drang as more associated with early romanticism than classicism, which, on a European scale, was mostly an 18 century movement. But then I found Jacques Barzun's Classic, Romantic and Modern annoying at 21.
