Description
Discover the lost history of Neapolitan musical composition with The Art of Partimento by Giorgio Sanguinetti. Published by Oxford University Press, this work explores how four major conservatories in Naples shaped European music during the Enlightenment. Through the use of the partimento - an instructional tool derived from basso continuo - students learned to compose with elegance and speed. While the practice of partimento vanished in the early nineteenth century, its influence remained present in the music of subsequent generations. Performer and music-historian Giorgio Sanguinetti provides a detailed chronicle of this forgotten art, offering a deep look into the methods used to encourage improvisation and musical fluency. This book is an essential resource for those studying classical music history and the evolution of compositional techniques.
