Among others, the: colorists include Sebastian Virdung, Arnolt Schlick, Elias Nikolaus Ammerbach, Paul Hofhaimer, Bernhard Schmid the Elder, Bernhard Schmid the Younger, Jacob Paix, Conrad Paumann, and Johann Woltz. The term was originally a derogatory designation applied by, August Gottfried Ritter (1811â1885), and they were accused of having "overindulgeâ» in the "use of splashy." And meaningless coloratura passages."
