Description
Summary:This study investigates the reception of partimento at the Paris Conservatoire between its foundation (1795) and 1840. The circulation of partimento in France during the 19th century is evinced by several sources, although, the use of partimenti in teaching at the Conservatoire has never been explored in depth. The Conservatoire initially emulated institutions such as the Neapolitan Conservatori, with the goal of producing French musicians and singers as successful as their Italian colleagues. Drawing on archival documents, manuscripts, and printed manuals, the teaching at the Conservatoire is reconstructed and the elements of partimento in these sources explored; the teaching of harmonie and accompagnement are also examined.
Die vorliegende Studie untersucht die Rezeption des Partimento am Pariser Conservatoire zwischen seiner Gründung und 1840. Die Verbreitung des Partimento in Frankreich im 19. Jh. wird durch mehrere Quellen belegt. Die Verwendung von Partimenti im Unterricht am Conservatoire ist noch nie im Detail erforscht worden. Das Conservatoire eiferte zunächst den neapolitanischen Conservatori nach, mit dem Ziel, französische Musiker und Sänger hervorzubringen, die ebenso erfolgreich waren wie ihre italienischen Kollegen. Anhand von Archivdokumenten und Lehrbüchern wird der Unterricht am Conservatoire rekonstruiert und die Elemente des Partimento in diesen Quellen erforscht; auch der Unterricht in Harmonielehre und Accompagnement wird untersucht.
