Reveals the brilliant musical and pedagogical thinking of the famed
eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Neapolitan composer and
teacher of royal students. Giovanni Paisiello (1740-1816) was one
of the most important composers of opera in the eighteenth century.
His operas were performed throughout Europe, and his fame led to
appointments as a maestro di cappella and composer at prominent
European courts. This book is the first study to address his work
as a teacher of composition and what we would today call music
theory. The practice of partimento (figured or unfigured bass
lines) was an integral part of the training of musicians at the
renowned conservatories in eighteenth-century Naples. By employing
these often-unprepossessing partimento bass lines, young musicians
learned the techniques of variation, improvisation, and composition
while seated at the harpsichord. Paisiello's Regole per bene
accompagnare il Partimento (Rules for Harpsichordists; 1782)
survives in both autograph and printed forms. It contains forty-six
partimenti that have long been considered the core of his pedagogic
oeuvre. However, two recently discovered manuscripts contain a
further forty-one unknown partimenti, notated as two- and
three-part disposizioni (realizations). The present study offers
numerous insights gleaned from the surviving sources and bolsters
our understanding of how to perform the music of Paisiello and his
contemporaries: music that has often survived in an incomplete
form. These findings are relevant not just for keyboard players but
also for singers, instrumentalists, and anyone interested in the
inner workings of eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century music.
