Corelli'stonalmodels
Intégral 31 (2017) pp. 31–49 Corelli's Tonal Models: The Trio Sonata Op.3, No. 1* by Christopher Wintle Abstract. British thought is typically pragmatic, so a British reception of the work of Heinrich Schenker will concern itself with concrete procedure at the expense of hypothetical abstraction. This is especially important when dealing with the work of Arcangelo Corelli, whose work, along with that of others in the Franco-Italian tradi- tion, holds the key to common-practice tonality. The approach of the British author is thus to construct a set of concrete linear-harmonic models derived from the fore- ground and middleground techniques of Schenker and to demonstrate their han- dling throughout the four movements of a representative trio sonata (Op. 3, No. 1). In this essentially “bottom-up” project, detailed discussion of structure readily merges into that of style and genre, including dance and fugue. The text is supported by many examples and includes a reprint of the trio sonata itself. Keywords and phrases: Arcangelo Corelli, Heinrich Schenker, trio sonata, tonal models, fugue. Introduction poser or a single school,” nevertheless suggested that it was Corelli who “was the first to put the tonal formu- here appears to have been no doubt in the minds of las to systematic use.” Christopher Hogwood (1979, 41), on T many of those who have written about the Baroque the other hand, cites two eighteenth-century sources to era that the music of Arcangelo Corelli bore an extraordi- suggest that Corelli’s achievement was one more of man- nary significance, and one that extended far beyond his ner than of matter: according to Charles Burney, he says, having made a remarkable contribution to the repertoire “Corelli was not the inventor of his own favorite style, of solo, chamber, and concerted violin music.

Arcangelo Corelli
Arcangelo Corelli The music of Arcangelo Corelli (1653-1713) exerted an influence on the development of string music that far exceeded the implications of the modest number of prints in which they were circulated. Only six volumes of works, each containing twelve sonatas or concertos, were published, and the last after Corelli’s death. Corelli’s fame emanated from his playing in Rome, where the courts of cardinals offered much of the best, and best supported, music. Corelli’s particular patrons and benefactors included Cardinal Benedetto Pamphili and his successor, Cardinal Pietro Ottoboni as well as the exiled queen Christina of Sweden. His popularity in the eighteenth century (much of it posthumous) was immense. Printed copies of his works from that time are widely spread throughout Europe, North America, and the East Asia. Church and Chamber Sonatas Opp.1-4 The first four of Corelli’s volumes contains “trio” sonatas—sonatas for two violins and basso continuo. In the case of the “church” sonatas (sonate da chiesa; Opp. 1 [1681] and 3 [1689] ), the works were usually accompanied by organ, which would be reinforced by a cello or a lute or both. In contrast, “chamber” sonatas (sonate da camera, Opp. 2 [1685] and 4 [1692] ) were accompanied by harpsichord, often reinforced by cello. According to long-held views, the difference between church and chamber sonatas inhered in their structure and content. Church sonatas typically contained four movements in the sequence slow-fast- slow-fast (e.g., Adagio-Allegro-Adagio-Allegro). Imitative writing could occur between treble and bass instruments or between the two violins.

On Teaching the History of Nineteenth-Century Music
On Teaching the History of Nineteenth-Century Music Walter Frisch This essay is adapted from the author’s “Reflections on Teaching Nineteenth- Century Music,” in The Norton Guide to Teaching Music History, ed. C. Matthew Balensuela (New York: W. W Norton, 2019). The late author Ursula K. Le Guin once told an interviewer, “Don’t shove me into your pigeonhole, where I don’t fit, because I’m all over. My tentacles are coming out of the pigeonhole in all directions” (Wray 2018). If it could speak, nineteenth-century music might say the same ornery thing. We should listen—and resist forcing its composers, institutions, or works into rigid categories. At the same time, we have a responsibility to bring some order to what might seem an unmanageable segment of music history. For many instructors and students, all bets are off when it comes to the nineteenth century. There is no longer a clear consistency of musical “style.” Traditional generic boundaries get blurred, or sometimes erased. Berlioz calls his Roméo et Juliette a “dramatic symphony”; Chopin writes a Polonaise-Fantaisie. Smaller forms that had been marginal in earlier periods are elevated to unprecedented levels of sophistication by Schubert (lieder), Schumann (character pieces), and Liszt (etudes). Heightened national identity in many regions of the European continent resulted in musical characteristics which become more identifiable than any pan- geographic style in works by composers like Musorgsky or Smetana. At the college level, music of the nineteenth century is taught as part of music history surveys, music appreciation courses, or (more rarely these days) as a stand-alone course.

III CHAPTER III THE BAROQUE PERIOD 1. Baroque Music (1600-1750) Baroque – flamboyant, elaborately ornamented a. Characteristics of Baroque Music 1. Unity of Mood – a piece expressed basically one basic mood e.g. rhythmic patterns, melodic patterns 2. Rhythm – rhythmic continuity provides a compelling drive, the beat is more emphasized than before. 3. Dynamics – volume tends to remain constant for a stretch of time. Terraced dynamics – a sudden shift of the dynamics level. (keyboard instruments not capable of cresc/decresc.) 4. Texture – predominantly polyphonic and less frequently homophonic. 5. Chords and the Basso Continuo (Figured Bass) – the progression of chords becomes prominent. Bass Continuo - the standard accompaniment consisting of a keyboard instrument (harpsichord, organ) and a low melodic instrument (violoncello, bassoon). 6. Words and Music – Word-Painting - the musical representation of specific poetic images; E.g. ascending notes for the word heaven. b. The Baroque Orchestra – Composed of chiefly the string section with various other instruments used as needed. Size of approximately 10 – 40 players. c. Baroque Forms – movement – a piece that sounds fairly complete and independent but is part of a larger work. -Binary and Ternary are both dominant. 2. The Concerto Grosso and the Ritornello Form - concerto grosso – a small group of soloists pitted against a larger ensemble (tutti), usually consists of 3 movements: (1) fast, (2) slow, (3) fast. - ritornello form - e.g. tutti, solo, tutti, solo, tutti solo, tutti etc. Brandenburg Concerto No. 2 in F major, BWV 1047 Title on autograph score: Concerto 2do à 1 Tromba, 1 Flauto, 1 Hautbois, 1 Violino concertati, è 2 Violini, 1 Viola è Violone in Ripieno col Violoncello è Basso per il Cembalo.

The Romantic Era: Beginnings and Endings
Chapter 23 – The Romantic Era: Beginnings and Endings Illustration 1: "Symphony in White", James McNeil Whistler, 1862 If one were to try to sum up the zeitgeist of the Romantic Era in one phrase, it would be difficult to find a better one than simply, "the celebration of the individual". Not the mysterious and supernatural power of the Church; the individual. Not the grandiosity of the monarchy or even the hope of a representative government; the individual. Not the promise of reason and logic, not the potential of science and industry, not even the common bond of everyman; it is the individual whose voice we hear in the music and art. It is now the individual who is telling his own story and leading us to see the world through his own eyes. How did this happen? Great music and great art always tell stories on many levels. Certainly on one level, the spirit of the artist always speaks in his own unique voice. It is extremely difficult for a creative artist to remove himself from his artistic work—and a few have actually tried. Often the surface story is fairly obvious. A great deal of Medieval music—being religious—is about the Church. In it you can hear the great mysteries, the celebrations, the fears, the faith. Compare that with the modern era, where one can often hear the sense of excitement, confusion, and frustration with technology that seems to have taken over.i In a later era, the story being told is one of the grandeur of royalty, of the glory of the absolute monarchs.
