You should start by reading a few books about partimento. Robert Gjerdingen "music in the galant style" would be a great start, and on KZbin, if you type his name, you'll find several videos he made where he illustrates some of the techniques presented in his books. John A. Rice has lots of papers on academia.edu on the subject of schemata and partimento. Another good book is "harmony, counterpoint, partimento" by Job Ijzerman, Giorgio Sanguinetti "the art of partimento" and anything else he wrote, and there are a few youtubers that publish instructive videos on partimento like @en-blanc-et-noir, but as long as you search for partimento, you'll find lots of content that will help you understand how this music is structured. One other important suggestion is to make copies. Pick a few pieces that you like and start copying them on either paper or in a music notation software. Start also selecting small passages from these pieces to learn them and check if a similar passage is present in other compositions of either the same author or different ones. Gradually, you notice they used common patterns and "phrases", they shared material as in a common language, and this will take you back to the partimento theory, which is based on variations upon a standard shared pattern (also useful for improvisation).

Not yet. It is difficult to find a publisher willing to put in print your work, publish it, advertise it, etc...

Potresti utilizzare KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing). La cosa migliore sarebbe sicuramente pubblicare sonate ed altre opere per il fortepiano cosicché soprattutto quelli che sono da soli possano suonarle.@@GuglielmoEsposito

​@@GuglielmoEsposito damn, I would love to play one your fortepiano works

Hello, I didn't expect such a nice response!. I'm sorry to have been MIA, but now I'm somewhat back. I may reupload from time to time some of my pieces with better sounds, like I did with this symphnoy.

Thank you very much. I'm really happy you enjoyed my music. About the free fortepiano soundfont, I doubt you'll find any for free, though the one sold by boldersounds costs $20 and it is worth every penny. I've used it in many of my piano works and this is one of them kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXicg5aKjadph5o This is the link to the boldersounds website: www.boldersounds.com/index.php?main_page=product_music_info&cPath=3_17&products_id=70&zenid=r5lmeubssat5895i4gjdmst9m2 If you need any more info, feel free to ask!

Yes it would be very nice if you do that, thanks!

Grazie, sono contento che le sia piaciuto e mi onora paragonandomi ai grandi!

It is a pianoforte

Thank you for the kind response … That's what i thought, too … The sound is beautiful and I enjoyed your very fine playing very much … TY

Hi, I am still using this plug in and several others too, some are expensive to buy and two others no more purchasable. You can check edition beurmann at www.realsamples.de/epages/17831984.mobile/en_US/?ViewObjectID=42879471 and they have a wide selection of historical pianos and harpsichords, but as I said, they're expensive. Then there are two other pianos I use which you can't buy anymore and they were made by post musical instruments owned by sampletekk. The only instrument they have is a nice harpsichord. They had a very good fortepiano for $25 but they don't sell it anymore. Maybe you could contact them and ask if they could still send it to you, but I doubt they will. The other one was made still by post musical instruments and was part of a collection of other instruments shop-vst.com/2100 More than this I can't help you... Though I still don't understand why you did contact bolder sounds and not just bought the instrument from the page itself. The process is very simple and straightforward, the only thing to pay attention to is that you should buy the one sold for around $20 because it is the most complete one.

thanks for all the data, i tried to buy it but bolder didn't dm back. gonna try again. thanks for the response!

Un grande maestro Guglielmo esposito

Grazie! Effettivamente il tema non è dei più belli, però, il pezzo dopo funziona meglio :-p Detto questo, è abbastanza complicato da suonare, però se vuoi ti invio la partitura e vedi cosa riesci a fare.

Assolutamente non volevo dire che il tema non è bello, ma semplice e composto da poche note. Credo che il pezzo sia bellissimo e cresce meravigliosamente da piccola quantità della materia alla grandezza dell'arte. Bravissimo! Non sono sicuro, se io debba provarlo visto che fallire è sempre deprimente.

Magari! :)

Siano i tuoi maestri i tuoi studenti, e tu, carissimo amico, non arrendersi mai! :-)

Grazie infinite Lucius per le tue belle parole. Sei sempre gentilissimo!

Io sono grato e contento! Grazie ad Iddio abbiamo il compositore, ma purtroppo non ci sono nemmeno un flauto e tre archi a Napoli.

Ti ringrazio, sono contento ti sia piaciuto il pezzo!

Well, it is simple and complicated at the same time. The main thing is, you learn by doing and observing. So I studied a lot of composers and how they did achieve certain effects through the use of certain mixtures of instruments, and learning patterns and systems you start achieving what you want. Of course it takes time and practice.

This 'song' (I'd call it 'piece') is neither by Johann Christoph Bach (not Johann Sebastian Bach, whom you seem to mistake him with) nor by Mozart. It's a popular song for which both composers made their own set of variations. This one was composed by Johann Christoph Bach (a son of Johann Sebastian's), and is very different from the one composed by Mozart.

amy rose gamer. Both Mozart and this composer who is a son of JS Bach, composed a set of variations to the same theme. However the variations are quite different.

The original piece was probably written around 1740, it's a french "bergerie", a country song. The author is unknown. Franz Liszt and Erwin Schulhoff also wrote variations on this charming theme.

Jerk Johnson Thank you very much! Soon I publish another 4-hands sonata

+Peter Andreas Thank you :)

+Jerk Johnson You lucky that you had access to all those instruments, and thank you! I'm very happy you like this piece :)

Jerk Johnson I'm very happy that you liked my symphony. This one in particular is one of my favorites. :)

+John Kiunke Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! As for passages and progressions, there's a commonly used passage in 18th century music, that I refer to it as recitato. You can find it in many composition of many composers of the time, like Kozeluch, Dussek, Paisiello, etc. The example I can give you, so you understand quickly it is found in the second movement of Mozart sonata k 311, from bar 16 to 24. I like that kind of schema and progression and it is found, in different variation in many works of anyone in the 18th century. So it was a very versatile musical moment that you had to know in order to fit in the composers club.

Guglielmo Esposito I checked out k 311, I never really noticed that before but its good! I'll look out for it more!

+BAxitorCH Grazie, sono contento che ti sia piaciuto!

+Lucius A Grazie! Vedo che stai facendo molti progressi in italiano. Complimenti!

+John Kiunke One has to start somewhere, right? :) It'd be nice to hear your pieces sometimes.

Guglielmo Esposito Yeah, I have an old neupert clavichord, I'll post some of my pieces soon. I have an account on young composers as well. (JohnKiunke) I'm working on my second of 3 sonatas for keyboard & (optional) violin as my opus 1.

John Kiunke Oh that's nice that you do that. I also have an account on YC (punkitititi). I've been a member there for such a long time, even though I'm not posting much anymore. A book that would help you out in absorbing all the inflections of this language is one written by Robert Gjerdingen "Music in the Galant style", I discovered this author and that book last year. It was a great surprise because all of what he talks about I have studied it thoroughly in the past 15 years, listening to countless of composers and countless of works by each of them. So seeing most of it put together in a book is refreshing. You should check it out. There is some preview available on google books, so you can get an idea. I think it is a good starting point for you. Check it out and let me know!

+John Kiunke You're right on your guess. Then I saw the same patterns and progressions not only in that set of music but also elsewhere in pieces of other composers. In fact at the time I was convinced that they copied from each other, then I realized it was just a way of respecting a common language and those inflections and progressions, number of bars etc, is just a common feature of that kind of music.
