AA.VV
This volume explores various aspects of early music teaching (Historically Informed Music Pedagogy), performance, and theory. Contributions from thirteen scholars address topics ranging from the ancient Greek instrument helikon used for musicians training to the evolution of the viola bastarda technique linking historical practices with modern applications. Significant attention is given to methodological reflections on early music pedagogy, the reconstruction of incomplete pieces as a method for teaching counterpoint, and the role of improvisation and the creative process in vocal and instrumental music. Additional sections tackle the teaching of ornamentation, contrappunto alla mente and solmisation, with discussions on the status of Musica Practica and its philosophical and educational implications today. New perspectives are offered on Guido of Arezzo with an innovative contribution on the «Dialogus de musica».
