Deo Gratias!!!

Son traitement des choeurs est absolument grandiose. (S'il est à vraiment à l'origine de quoi que ce soit) on sent sa "patte" dans la messe en ut de Mozart et dans son requiem, avec quelque chose de Bach et de Haendel! Grand dommage qu'il n'ait pas pu composer plus abondamment. On le sent "charnière ou chaînon manquant" entre le baroque et le classique.

Teacher of Mozart and Bach. How lovely. 🙂

Giovanni Battista Martini was one of "the most learned musicians of his own or of any other time." (E. J. Dent) A teacher and benefactor to young Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, he exerted a great influence on the development of 18th century music. "To Martini....[counterpoint] was a living language...and the result of his teaching was that Mozart eventually obtained a mastery of counterpoint...rare even among composers of the first rank." {p. 16, Edward J. Dent, "Mozart's Operas", Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1947}. Charles Burney (18th century music historian and chronicler, quoted by Dent) described him as having "a native cheerfulness, softness and philanthropy. Upon so short an acquaintance I never liked any man more....I felt ...as little reserve ...as with an old friend or beloved brother. " Martini was "saturated" with the knowledge of the great polyphonic period composers, having a library of 17,000 books in his music library. (Burney, Dent)

O conhecimento musical da época tinha no pé Martini o depositário . Era também a fonte e ponte para tantos outros.

[@captebbtide]

Awesome - that's the Italian Baroque for ya!

[@0Videoteca0]

Baroque? are you really really sure? We talk about Cherubini's master (or Cherubini's master's master at least xD). Anyway yeah it's awesome!! :D

[@0Videoteca0]

@Divergent Integral It would be very interesting to study deeper that "transition" period and the definition of "transition" too. I've heard some theory about the fact that in some areas of Europe there was a direct "transition" from "Baroque" to "Romanticism". Nonetheless, it's not rare to refer to the Classical Era like the Wiener Classicism, as it was particularly bound or related to that geographic area. Some speaks about the "Gallant" period; in my humble opinion it is kinda reductive to define it like a transition. Anyway I'm not arguing what you wrote, I'm aware of the attitude of Martini about contrapunctal musica and especially from Palestrina. He was still a clerical and this is a sacred music piece...

[@0Videoteca0]

@Divergent Integral Ok. I see you are a very learned person, citing books and treatises (which I didn't read) and showing you have solid basis on what you affirm. I'm just afraid I'm missing the point of the conversation: what I was trying to do was to point the focus on the fact that between Baroque and Classicism there is something, which is not Baroque and not Classicism either and, for the little I know, I think this period of time has the potential to be defined with a strong and specific identity, differently from what appears to be on the general understanding. The first comment says "Italian Baroque"; you still "move" Martini towards the late Baroque; it seems like we must classify it as meat or fish. Is it meat or fish? It seems not clear, but surely it's more like meat (Baroque). So as you say every period is a transition from what's before and what's next, as could be the polyphonic textures from the "before" (could it be considered from the "next", since the introduction of the polyphony in the symphonism is a Classicism characteristic....? I don't know) so that shouldn't really count I guess. But at the end, what's your position about it? Does Martini rapresent a transition between meat and fish, more like meat, or is it something else, like a vegetable, for example? xD Because it wasn't clear to me. Sorry if I spoke with food examples, it's just to joke a little bit. EDIT: By the way, of course I see the similarities with late Baroque, but I think late Baroque has a lot to show and to work about with studies and researches and got interesting traits putting it keanly apart from the previous times. EDIT 2: Happy Easter :D

[@0Videoteca0]

@Divergent Integral woah very nice analogy with the dolphin xD fits perfectly. I've got it clear now. And as you said it now I feel I pretty much agree on what you say. I'd just like to have the chance to study deeper '700 music and in particular the italian '700... when you study at school is like there's Baroque and Classicism and what's in between is not much to worry about, when I think instead it could be a pivotal period that probably could rival the other two for the impact they had on Western Music developement. Probably not but I'd invest some cents on that :D Thank you for the nice talk.
