May 24, 20205 yr Hello, Myself and Markus have been collaborating on a project centered on galant pedagogy. Here our first realizations on a Partimento by Francesco Durante (1684-1755). Partimenti are figured and unfigured basses used during Baroque and Classical period by the students who learn compositions to do realizations on based on a set of rules. All the information about history, rules and Partimenti can be found under the public domain: http://faculty-web.at.northwestern.edu/music/gjerdingen/partimenti/collections/index.htm We did a realization on following Durante's Partimento separately as a composition exercise: https://web.archive.org/web/20170401132027/http://faculty-web.at.northwestern.edu/music/gjerdingen/partimenti/collections/Durante/numerati/001DurNum/001DurNum.htm We appreciate your comments and invite anyone who want to join us to experience with galant style.

March 6, 20215 yr Well done! I've just used partimento for the first time (Furno #1). Until that I improvised in classical style using the Richard Grayson method. This sound really more classical. I'm working on a way to make it easier to grasp. My idea is to share it on my yt channel and to explain what how to do it. I think people can learn it without knowing the Rule of the octave. I will add chord symbols on top of the bass line. I know this wasn't used in that time, but I think it makes it easier to grasp.
