Can an abstract theory of Empfindsamkeit aesthetics have any value to a musician wishing to study composition in the classical style?

Starting with the systematic aesthetic theory of the Swiss encyclopedist Johann Sulzer, Koch was creatively able to adapt Sulzer's conservative ideas on ethical mimesis and rhetoric to concrete problems of music analysis and composition.
