At the height of the Enlightenment, four conservatories in Naples
stood at the center of European composition. Maestros taught their
students to compose with unprecedented swiftness and elegance using
the partimento, an instructional tool derived from the basso
continuo that encouraged improvisation as the path to musical
fluency. Although the practice vanished in the early nineteenth
century, its legacy lived on in the music of the next generation.
In The Art of Partimento, performer and music-historian Giorgio
Sanguinetti chronicles the history of this long-forgotten
Neapolitan art. Sanguinetti has painstakingly reconstructed the
oral tradition that accompanied these partimento manuscripts, now
scattered throughout Europe. Beginning with the origins of the
partimento in the circles of Corelli, Pasquini, and Alessandro
Scarlatti in Rome and tracing it through the peak of the tradition
in Naples, The Art of Partimento gives a glimpse into the daily
life and work of an eighteenth century composer.
