's* forms used for the Library, derived from the Theater of Marcellus (Figure 5).11Many scholars have noted this point, but they have not tended to discuss Sansovino's facade any further in terms of the architectural typology of theaters. Rather, Wolfgang Lotz and, more recently, Thomas Hirthe focused on Sansovino's revival, through his Library, of an ancient forum through his design of the Library's fagade.12 Neither Lotz nor Hirthe had the benefit of the recent stud- ies of the medieval Piazza San Marco by Michela Agazzi and Juergen Schulz.13 Schulz argues convincingly that the medieval Piazza San Marco was conceived as the evocation of a forum in Constantinople. As he points out, Constan- tinople was the only city in the Mediterranean that had pre- served functioning ancient fora, a type that medieval Venetians reintroduced into western Europe.14 Sansovino, in turn, did indeed create his own, later version of a Roman forum in Venice, but his design had at least one additional layer of reference.15 That the articulation Sansovino chose for the Library was considered proper for theatrical situations in early- sixteenth-century Venice and its environs is made clear by an illustration from an edition of the comedies of Plautus published in Venice in 1518 (Figure 6).16 There actors stand in front of a screen of piers and round arches to which an Figure 2 Giacomo Torelli,set for the prologue of Bellerofonte (detail), order has been engaged, and through the arches a summar- 1642 ily treated landscape is visible.

    Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600 By Leon Chisholm A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Kate van Orden, Co-Chair Professor James Q. Davies, Co-Chair Professor Mary Ann Smart Professor Massimo Mazzotti Summer 2015 Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600 Copyright 2015 by Leon Chisholm Abstract Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600 by Leon Chisholm Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Kate van Orden, Co-Chair Professor James Q. Davies, Co-Chair Keyboard instruments are ubiquitous in the history of European music. Despite the centrality of keyboards to everyday music making, their influence over the ways in which musicians have conceptualized music and, consequently, the music that they have created has received little attention. This dissertation explores how keyboard playing fits into revolutionary developments in music around 1600 – a period which roughly coincided with the emergence of the keyboard as the multipurpose instrument that has served musicians ever since. During the sixteenth century, keyboard playing became an increasingly common mode of experiencing polyphonic music, challenging the longstanding status of ensemble singing as the paradigmatic vehicle for the art of counterpoint – and ultimately replacing it in the eighteenth century. The competing paradigms differed radically: whereas ensemble singing comprised a group of musicians using their bodies as instruments, keyboard playing involved a lone musician operating a machine with her hands.

The publication of this book is made possible by two such individuals: Miss Diana E. Kaley, its author, and Miss Mary M. Davis, Executive Vice President of Samuel H. Kress Foundation, which subsidized its publication. For the past seven years, Diana Kaley has been Director ofour Venice Committee office and Information Center in the Scuola di San Giovanni Evangelista and invaluable because ofher able supervision of many of IFM's restorations in Venice, including that of the Pieta, which she pursued with exceptional dedication and skill. Mary Davis has been a regular visitor to Venice since the mid-1960s. Because of her background in Art History, she was saddened at the condition ofthe Church of Santa Maria della Pieta in which she recognized the deterioration in the fabric ofthe building and in the ceiling paintings by Tiepolo. In 1969 she submitted to the Board of Trustees of the Samuel H. Kress Foundation a proposal for the repair of the roof and the restoration of the Tiepolos. Upon completion ofthis work, she urged the Foundation's Board to complete the restoration of the entire church and obtained additional funds for its accomplishment.
