Description

Explore the intricate art of basso continuo accompaniment across three centuries of Italian music history. This scholarly work by Giulia Nuti traces the evolution of keyboard performance practices from the late 1500s through the eighteenth century, revealing how musicians developed and transmitted the harmonic, rhythmic, compositional and improvisational techniques essential to continuo playing. The book examines regional variations in Italian practice and explains how changes in instruments and increased composer control eventually led to the decline of basso continuo. Perfect for musicologists, performers, composers and music theory students seeking to understand the historical development and stylistic nuances of this foundational accompaniment technique.

Key Features

Analyses how instrumental evolution and composer authority gradually transformed and eventually ended the use of basso continuo in European music.
