Episode 5. The Spanish folklore and the end of the battuto-pizzicato style.
13 augustus 2022
Genre: Barok
Componisten/uitvoerenden: Arcangelo Corelli | Francisco Guerau | François Campion | Gaspar Sanz | Jean Philippe Rameau | José Marin | Ludovico Roncalli | Robert de Visée | Santiago de Murcia
Towards the end of the 17th century, solo works for guitar appear for the first time in Spain, in books by Gaspar Sanz and Francisco Guerau. It is worth noting that this music is mainly in the plucked style (punteado in Spanish), and that strummed chords (rasgueado) are largely absent.
Los tres músicos (Diego Velázquez).
After 1700, almost no music in the mixed battuto-pizzicato style appeared anymore in France and Italy. The last book of guitar music from Italy was published by Ludovico Roncalli in 1692, and twenty years after Robert de Visée published his second book (1686), only in 1705 François Campion’s Nouvelles Decouvertes appeared in France.
In this episode, we will also hear the music by Domenico Rainer which was recently rediscovered. In Rainer’s works, we find clearly recognisable parallels with the violin music of Archangelo Corelli.
