On Divided Lines: Instrumentation For Bass Parts In Corelli-Era Sonatas, Peter Walls Jan 2012

On Divided Lines: Instrumentation For Bass Parts In Corelli-Era Sonatas, Peter Walls

Performance Practice Review

There has been considerable debate in recent years about the appropriate treatment of bass lines in Corelli Op. 5 and other duo and ensemble sonatas of the era. This article examines the relationship between continuo parts and separate bass parts in publications that include both. It argues that the case for accepting publication formats as a guide to performance practice is weaker than has often been claimed. The inadequacy of the standard terminology (particularly ‘trio sonata’) for Italian chamber-music ensembles in this period has been much commented on. Italian practice in the 17th century was to designate pieces a 2, …


In Search Of The Eighteenth-Century “Violoncello”: Antonio Vandini And The Concertos For Viola By Tartini, Marc Vanscheeuwijck Jan 2012

In Search Of The Eighteenth-Century “Violoncello”: Antonio Vandini And The Concertos For Viola By Tartini, Marc Vanscheeuwijck

Performance Practice Review

In this rarely-quoted excerpt, Johann Philipp Eisel obviously paraphrases Johann Mattheson’s definition of the violoncello in Das Neu-eröffnete Orchestre. It is yet another description that does not conform precisely to our early twenty-first century historical construct of the “baroque” cello. In the past not much attention has been given to such descriptions, considered to be too deviant from the general understanding of what a cello was supposed to be: five or six strings were not considered to represent the “normal” cello, and the viola da spalla was considered a different instrument altogether. However, recent research has finally taken such descriptions …


How One Learned To Ornament In Late Sixteenth-Century Italy, Timothy J. Mcgee Jan 2012

How One Learned To Ornament In Late Sixteenth-Century Italy, Timothy J. Mcgee

Performance Practice Review

Several of the sixteenth-century ornamentation manuals state that they are self-sufficient tutors; that instrumentalists and vocalists could learn the skill without further assistance from a teacher. While this may have been possible for one type of ornamentation, it did not hold true for the newer, dramatic, Neapolitan style of ornamentation that was heavily based on rhetorical models, and which needed careful guidance from an experienced teacher (Author).


Bach's Tempo Ordinario: A Plaine And Easie Introduction To The System, Robert Marshall Jan 2012

Bach's Tempo Ordinario: A Plaine And Easie Introduction To The System, Robert Marshall

Performance Practice Review

The initial impetus for this inquiry came from a question posed by Arthur Mendel during a coffee break in a Bach seminar some thirty years ago. Why, he asked, did Bach notate the last movement of the fifth Brandenburg Concerto in two-­four time, with triplets rather than in six-­eight time?...


"Attractively Packaged But Unripe Fruit"; The Uk's Commercialization Of Musical History In The 1980s, Colin Lawson Jan 2012

"Attractively Packaged But Unripe Fruit"; The Uk's Commercialization Of Musical History In The 1980s, Colin Lawson

Performance Practice Review

The decade from 1980 proved to be truly significant in the development of historical performance, as recreations of post-Baroque repertory gradually became the norm. At its close, three complete cycles of Beethoven Symphonies had been recorded on “period” instruments, implicitly demonstrating the complexity of the spectrum between practical expediency and historical accuracy. By 1991, Clive Brown was issuing a timely warning that the pedigree of many of the instruments on these recordings was of doubtful authenticity. The commercially-motivated rush to push period-instrument performance ever more rapidly into the nineteenth century did not offer much hope for the consolidation of historical …


A Correctly-Attributed Fake, Bruce Haynes Jan 2012

A Correctly-Attributed Fake, Bruce Haynes

Performance Practice Review

A few years ago, a harpsichord ascribed to Nicholas Lefébure and dated 1755 appeared on the scene. Although it was enthusiastically received, there was a problem with this instrument. It seems its attribution was incorrect; in fact, by some two and a half centuries. Shortly afterwards, its real maker, Martin Skowroneck, published an amusing and sensational article in which he described how he had created an instrument that was so stylistically convincing that harpsichord restorers didn’t hesitate to call it an original...


Consequentialism About Historical Authenticity, Aron Edidin Jan 2012

Consequentialism About Historical Authenticity, Aron Edidin

Performance Practice Review

The historical authenticity movement arrived on a wave of polemical prose, and was met by a similarly energetic polemical response. The controversy has persisted to the present day.


The Antebellum "Piano Girl" In The American South, Candace Bailey Jan 2012

The Antebellum "Piano Girl" In The American South, Candace Bailey

Performance Practice Review

Throughout the nineteenth century, the education of young gentlewomen almost always included music lessons, with piano lessons being the most frequently recommended. The social context for these young women pianists, “piano girls,” has been described in several modern works, particularly since Arthur Loesser’s seminal work Men, Women, and Pianos: A Social History.1 In the 1980s, Judith Tick made the term “piano girl” a familiar one in musicological studies, and since that time the idea of the piano girl and her role in society has been explored by others.2 Most of these studies describe the social phenomenon of the piano girl, …

Business Plan For A Benefit Concert, Adam Rosenthal Jan 2012

Business Plan For A Benefit Concert, Adam Rosenthal

Whittier Scholars Program

My main focus in creating this business plan is to map out how to run a schedule of operations. This is the type of business plan that a benefit calls for, instead of creating a business plan for the creation of a new business or venture. My main objective in creating this business plan for a benefit concert is to be able to create something tangible that I can share, as well as share the real world knowledge that I have gained in researching, and putting together this business plan. With this project I have gained real music industry knowledge …
