| Description |
Stitched in original plain makeshift boards. Music examples throughout. From the collection of Christopher Hogwood (1941-2014). An essential manual for the study of eighteenth-century figured bass harmonic realization and continuo performance practice. "Gasparini was very highly regarded as a teacher. Beside Domenico Scarlatti his pupils included Quantz, Platti and Benedetto Marcello ... L'armonico pratico is a practical manual of figured bass accompaniment for beginners with some musical knowledge. It was used throughout the 18th century, going into numerous editions, the last in 1802, and remains an important source of information about continuo realization at that time" (NG1). |
