This Partimento is an etude for syncopated descending baselines and the 3-2-basemotion (“third down-step up”) and I guess there’s a methodical intention behind this. The appearance of both schemata in one Partimento is not accidental as there is a contrapuntal connection between them: the possibility to combine both patterns in exchangeable counterpoint.
My realization tries to convert the counterpoint-etude into a musically satisfying piece by seeking for variety at similar situations (means: not just the same diminution on a reappearing schema). The syncopated baseline appears three times and in three different keys (a, C and d), on every appearance the number of voices increases: two at the beginning, three in the C major and four on the d minor section.
Insanguine presents the 3-2-pattern in a very typical diminution manner as a chain of eight notes, it shows up in the keys of g minor (which seems a bit odd) and a minor. An easy but beautiful way of realization is a trio-structure by adding a 5/6-5/3 figuration to the base which of course includes the above mentioned syncopated patiens-line and an additional agens-voice on the downbeat. The agens- and patiens-voices are exchangeable as well and I do show both possible combinations.
