-Ausgangspunkt ist midi-Reprsentation d.Stckes, am Ende erh lt man f r jede Note ein metrisches Gewicht, dass die metr. Bedeutung dieses Tones kodieren soll [Start with MIDI representation] Inner metric structure -metr. Analyse ber cksichtigt nun lediglich die Einsatzzeiten der T ne, vergi t Tonh he und Dauern -sucht nach Regularit ten in den EZ, indem nach wiederholenden Einsatzzeitenabst nden gesucht wird [Identify pitch and duration of each one.] -d.h. ermittelt werden die sog. Lokalen Metren, dies sind Raster oder K mme von T nen im gleichen Einsatzzeitenabstand [Identify local meter] -metr. Gewicht einer EZ berechnet sich als gewichtete Summe aus allen lokalen Metren, an denen sie beteiligt ist (man mi t die Regularit ten) [consolidate local-meter values] -h chstes metr. Gewicht auf G entspricht nicht unserer Erwartung; -Frage: was kann man denn erwarten von diesem Ansatz? [Determine likely movement type] 2018 9 Eleanor Selfridge-Field

Sanguinetti: Overview The Rule of the Octave Suspensions Elaborations of the Rule of the Octave Relationships to compositional genres How to create your own partimenti The Art of Partimento (OUP, 2012) 13 Eleanor Selfridge-Field 2018
Sanguinetti, 2 The Rule of the Octave How to harmonize an octave Ascending/descending Major/minor Suspensions Elaborations of the Rule of the Octave Relationships to compositional genres How to create your own partimenti 14 Eleanor Selfridge-Field 2018
Sanguinetti, 3 The Rule of the Octave How to harmonize an octave Ascending/descending Major/minor Suspensions In the soprano: by the 4th, by the 7th, by the 9th In the bass: by the 2nd Elaborations of the Rule of the Octave Relationships to compositional genres How to create your own partimenti 15 Eleanor Selfridge-Field 2018
Sanguinetti, 4 The Rule of the Octave How to harmonize an octave Ascending/descending Major/minor Suspensions In the soprano: by the 4th, by the 7th, by the 9th In the bass: by the 2nd Elaborations of the Rule of the Octave Interpolations in the bass line Variations, diminutions in any part Motives, subjects et al. Relationships to compositional genres How to create your own partimenti 16 Eleanor Selfridge-Field 2018
Examples: Ascending, descending scales Ascending, minor, 1st position Octave, ascending, 3 positions Descending, minor, 1st position 2018 17 Eleanor Selfridge-Field
Examples: Suspensions Ninth suspensions Fourth suspensions Fourth suspensions Fourth suspensions Seventh suspensions Mutated bass Major, minor fourths 18 2018 Eleanor Selfridge-Field
Examples: Rhythmic variation Limping suspensions Rhythmic enrichment Eleanor Selfridge-Field 2018 19
Examples: Patterned basses Pattern-based elaboration Rising by 3rds, falling by step Falling by 4ths, rising by step Sequential bass Eleanor Selfridge-Field 20 2018
