The instrumental glories of late 17th to mid 18th century Italian masters, provided a magnificent springboard of musical creativity which 20th Century listeners only became fully aware of from the 1950s onwards. Here, was such wealth of inspiration, rich in its diversity of scoring and adventurous, way beyond the moderate stretches of the imagination, in its variety of settings for demonstrating the virtuoso skills and expressive capabilities of performers on their chosen instruments. In order to pinpoint the versatility of the performer, each composer had to build a surrounding framework which was superbly counterbalanced and rhythmically flexible at the same time. In the absence of dynamics, musical expression derived from tempo markings, essential elements of phrasing added to the original texts by various editors afterwards, in the way of crescendo and diminuendo markings, to realise the music’s forward-moving vitality or sublime, poetic qualities. In sheer diversity and profundity of ideas, this whole period produced a revolution in musical terms. |
