Giulia Nuti

The Performance of Italian Basso Continuo

Style in Keyboard Accompaniment in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Basso continuo accompaniment calls upon a complex tapestry of harmonic, rhythmic, compositional, analytical and improvisational skills. The evolving knowledge that underpinned the performance of basso continuo was built up and transmitted from the late 1500s to the second half of the eighteenth century, when changes in instruments together with the assertion of control by composers brought about its demise. Giulia Nuti provides both a scholarly account of the history of basso continuo and a performance-driven interpretation of how this music might be played. There are many musical examples, transcribed and in facsimile, and extensive documentation from both manuscript and printed sources to support the arguments.
