5 Levels of Realization

The same bass realized in five different levels of complexity and artistry. This was a test video for the youTube channel "Child Composers in the Old Conservatories," which contains 100 videos. If you liked this channel, you will probably like "Child Composers" too. For musicians interested in challenging material, extensive old lessons and manuscripts can be found at Partimenti.Org.

This is basically how harmony is taught in France. You begin by harmonizing figured basses and unfigured melodies with just chords - no non-harmonic tones. Once you learn to effectively utilize all chords (triads, 7th chords, 9th chords, and all the inversions of these chords), non-harmonic tones are added into the mix. Then you move on to imitative writing (fugues, canons, etc.) and finally, free composition.

A lonely video, but a great one. Thank you so much for making Partimenti accessible to us modern orphans. Your child composer channel is outstanding and your website is a feast, getting richer all the time.
