DESCRIPTION:The Doctoral Colloquium is open to all.\n\nDoctoral Colloquium:

 oint for Kids: How Neapolitan Partimento Taught Advanced Musicianship to B
 eginners\n\n\nAbstract:\n\n\n	The Italian partimento tradition of the 18th 
 century was a comprehensive music curriculum that aimed to transform orpha
 ns into fully functional composers and performers. A central activity with
 in the curriculum was the study of partimenti\, pedagogical basses which a
 ppear to be continuo parts but are actually potential complete composition
 s. Embedded within them are clues not only for the realization of harmony\
 , figuration\, genre\, but also highly sophisticated invertible counterpoi
 nt. An examination of the partimenti of Nicola Sala (1713-1801)\, Fedele F
 enaroli (1730-1818) and others reveals subtleties of contrapuntal inventio
 n\, and helps illuminate reasons why the conservatories of 18th century It
 aly produced so many musicians of high calibre.\n\n	Biographies:\n\n	 \n\n	\n
