This article investigates the relationship between partimento pedagogy and Rameau’s music theories as influenced by Enlightenment thought. Current research on partimento has revealed its importance in Neapolitan music schools of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Along with counterpoint, partimento was a core subject in the study of composition in the Neapolitan schools; however, as pedagogy and theory began to be influenced by Enlightenment ideals such as the scientific method or a preference for clear systemization, the partimento tradition began to wane.

  • A Basic Impro Kit
    A basic impro kit INTRODUCT I ON sing the concept of a DIY kit, this worksheet features fundamental tools for Baroque improvisation. Although these are expressed in grand staff notation, they are not only intended for keyboard players but for ALL musicians who wish to upgrade their know-how in the art of extemporization. Historically speaking, counterpoint was the earliest manifestation of polyphony, harmony deriving from it later. Therefore it is in that order that I present them: 5 species of counterpoint (and their rules) are followed by 22 harmonies (and a rule here too). I then discuss 3 essential cadences, the vital punctuation connecting music phrases to each other. After that, we move on to 11 partimento bass motions, equally vital building-blocks of composition (and I consider improvisation as nothing else than immediate and on-the-spot composition). My method closes with the discussion of the 3 melodic/harmonic progressions Monte, Fonte and Ponte. I have purposefully aimed to reduce textual explanations, leaving the examples to speak for themselves. Further reading on each topic will of course contribute to more knowledge, fluency and skilfulness. Here are just a few suggestions (amongst many) for each section: • counterpoint: Girolamo Diruta, Il Transilvano, 1593, book 2, Johann Joseph Fux, Gradus ad Parnassum (1725), etc. • harmony (thorough-bass): Georg Muffat, Regulae Concentuum Partiturae, 1699, Denis Delair, Traité d´accompagnement pour le Théorbe et le Clavecin, 1690, Jean-François Dandrieu, Principes de l´Accompagnement du Clavecin, 1719, Carl Philip Emanuel Bach, Versuch über die wahre Art das Clavier zu spielen, 1762 and a myriad of other sources.

  • Lydia Carlisi
    Lydia Carlisi Il partimento e gli schemi galanti: una sintesi Con il 1537, quando si rese necessario creare degli istituti che potessero dare rifugio ai numerosi orfani che vivevano per le strade di Napoli, ha inizio la storia dei Con- servatori. Queste strutture non si limitavano a ospitare i bambini, ma fornivano loro un’istruzione e insegnavano un mestiere. Una testimonianza sull’origine dei conser- vatori napoletani si trova in Notizie del bello e del curioso della città di Napoli di Carlo Celano, dove si legge: Ritornando sulla strada di Porta Capuana, incontrasi a sinistra la Chiesuola di S. Onofrio, assai famosa nella scuola della musica Napolitana.[…] In luogo separato a guisa di monistero abitava- no alcune donne mal maritate, vedove, ed anche zitelle, che con un discreto pagamento mensile a favore del pio luogo e col lavoro delle loro braccia si alimentavano. […] Posteriormente i confratelli, mossi da sentimento di compassione, cominciarono a raccogliere i meschini fanciulli della contrada per educargli alla musica. Fu questa l’origine del Conservatorio di S. Onofrio, i cui alunni vesti- vano sottana bianca e zimarra bigia; e fiorì ben presto colla direzione del Cavaliere Scarlatti e del Durante; e crebbe in guisa che in brevissimo tempo gli allievi arrivarono a circa 150, prosperando sempre più coi proventi della musica e colle pensioni che dagli allievi forestieri corrispondevansi.1 A seguito della crescente domanda di servizi musicali religiosi e laici da parte di varie istituzioni (chiese, monasteri, congregazioni, oratori, accademie private, corti euro- pee) nella prima metà del xvii secolo i Conservatori iniziarono a fornire una forma- zione musicale ai propri giovani ospiti.

We present results from a pedagogical experiment conducted at the Eastman School of Music, in which students’ improvisations were recorded. We offer a qualitative assessment of selected student improvisations in order to demonstrate the merits of this approach for teaching music theory and historical improvisation. We also address the challenges associated with implementing such a pedagogical approach in modern-day theory curricula.

Partimento practice originated in Italy and the most important centre of this art was Naples. In general, partimento is a kind of an abbreviated form of musical notation. It uses the notation of basso continuo: it provides one voice, which in most cases is the bass part supported with figures of b.c. notation. The figures may be neglected if the performer is supposed to follow the so-called rule of the octave. Practicing partimento was a way to master compositional skills: thorough bass, harmony, counterpoint, form, texture, motivic coherence. Practicing this art was rewarded with an unpar- alleled fluency in improvisation on keyboard instruments. It was the basic method of composition teaching at the famous conservatories in Naples. The conservatories were founded in the 16th century as orphanages but 1 Artykuł został opracowany na podstawie pracy doktorskiej pt.

The students of the conservatories attained the highest degree of musical knowledge enabling them to pursue great careers as composers and performers (both in the vocal and instrumental realm) in Italy and abroad.

  • DOI: 58 Giorgio Sanguinetti
    Giorgio Sanguinetti A Partimento in Classical Sonata Form by Giacomo Tritto Giacomo Tritto (*Altamura 1733; †Naples 1824) was a prolific, albeit not tremendously successful, opera composer. In his remarkably long life, he wrote more than fifty operas, mostly comic operas – a lesser genre in late eighteenth-century Naples. Today, his ope- ratic output is remembered mainly because of Il convitato di pietra,acomicoperastaged at the Teatro de’ Fiorentini in Naples in 1783, five years earlier than Mozart’s Don Gio- vanni.1 Tritto’s opera, on a libretto by Giovanbattista Lorenzi, is a fine example of the comic side of the Don Giovanni myth and has been recently restaged at the Teatro Verdi in Pisa in the season 2015/16. Tritto was also one of the most influential Neapolitan teachers of his age. When the twosurvivingconservatoriesoftheoriginalfour,Sant’OnofrioandthePietàdeiTurchini, merged in 1806 into a new Collegio di Musica, instead of a single director, Giuseppe Bonaparte chose Tritto along with Fedele Fenaroli and Giovanni Paisiello to form the so-called Triumvirato – a board of governors – that lasted until 1813, when Niccolò Zingarelli became the sole governor. Tritto achieved the highest honour through all the stages of his long career. He entered the Conservatorio della Pietà dei Turchini in 1746, where he was a student of Pasquale Cafaro and Nicola Sala.2 In 1759 he became “maestrino” (teaching assistant) of Cafaro and in 1785 “secondo maestro straordinario” in the same Conservatorio, where in 1799 he became full professor of counterpoint and composition.3 1 The position of Tritto’s opera as a precursor of Mozart’s Don Giovanni has attracted a consider- able size of musicological attention.

    HANDEL’S ORGANO AD LIBITUM: A STUDY OF ADAGIOS IN HIS ORGAN CONCERTOS ________________________ A Doctoral Essay Presented to The Faculty of Moores School of Music University of Houston ________________________ In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Musical Arts By HyeHyun Sung May, 2016 1 HANDEL’S ORGANO AD LIBITUM: A STUDY OF ADAGIOS IN HIS ORGAN CONCERTOS ________________________ An Abstract of a Doctoral Essay Presented to The Faculty of Moores School of Music University of Houston ________________________ In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Musical Arts By HyeHyun Sung May, 2016 2 ABSTRACT This study seeks to discover Handel’s likely improvisational process, specifically in the adagio ad libitum sections of his organ concertos. Handel indicated organo ad libitum in twelve adagio movements in the fifteen organ concertos, offering extensive opportunities for extemporaneous performance. The study helps today’s organists understand Handel’s improvisational process and create their own improvisations in the adagio sections of his organ concertos. Chapter One explains the historical concepts needed to understand the scant notation in Handel’s adagios. A Baroque musician read the indication “adagio” not as a mere tempo marking but as a genre requiring improvisation. Handel’s music education included the development of improvisational skills requiring the memorization of musical formulas that he could retrieve at the moment of performance. The steps involved in the improvisational process can be labeled with rhetorical terms from Baroque education: dispositio (the underlying large-scale framework), elaboratio (voice-leading), and decoratio (surface-level ornamentation). Understanding such concepts is a preliminary step towards creating one’s own adagio ad libitum improvisations in a style befitting a Handel organ concerto.
