Tratto dall'introduzione al volume a cura di Valeria di Iasio e Franco Tomasi:
Il saggio di Livio Ticli è dedicato al multiforme tema degli aspetti performativi che accomunano poesia e musica, nei riguardi dei quali il Cinquecento rappresenta ancora una volta una specola privilegiata, sia dal punto di vista storico che dal punto di vista della prassi esecutiva. Con la sua ampia analisi lo studioso intende dunque sia problematizzare il fenomeno della performance poetico-musicale, sia proporre un diverso paradigma utile a comprendere la complessa figura del virtuoso nell'epoca tardo rinascimentale. Viene così preso in esame un eterogeneo insieme di fonti che, comprendendo poesie, cronache, trattati e repertori musicali, consente di definire le componenti espressive della performance e l'insieme delle competenze - coreutiche, improvvisatorie, melico-poetiche, attoriali e oratorie - dei virtuosi rinascimentali. I casi di studio attraversati concernono di volta in volta specifici ambienti, come quello veneziano (in cui rientrano personaggi come Irene di Spilimbergo, Gaspara Stampa e Veronica Franco), personaggi singolari (come Tarquinia Molza, Laura Peperara e Giulio Caccini) e pratiche rappresentative (come il 'concerto segreto', l'improvvisazione, l'intonazione poetica al liuto), all'interno delle quali l'esecuzione musicale e attoriale assume i contorni di un vero e proprio atto esegetico nei confronti del testo. A coronamento di questo quadro critico lo studioso, oltre ad intavolare una interessante riflessione sulla modernità e sulla percezione della figura dell'artista 'eclettico', propone nuovo paradigma con cui descrivere e riattualizzare il fenomeno complesso della performance poetico musicale-coreutica («esecuzione integrata»).

Livio Ticli (University of Huddersfield, Palma Choralis, Early Music Department ‘Città di Brescia’), «Basso Continuo» as a «Concertato» Practice: Improvisation, Ornamentation and Counterpoint.
Basso continuo owes its great success to many factors such as its extreme versatility, which stands out as to performance and editorial needs. The written forms, which the accompanying practices could take between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, are indeed abundant — from scores (more or less complete) to intabulations, alphabetic notation (e.g. in the case of the chitarrina), and even the simple bass line (more or less ciphered). Interestingly, these practices could be employed by both enthusiasts and professionals, clearly according to a different degree of music skills. The context could also influence the performance. Continuo players could accompany a voice or an instrument, but more often they sang to their instrument as in the case of ‘integrated performances’ (Ticli 2020), or they performed along with other multi-skilled musicians — singingplaying in concerto either music works that formally did not contemplate any basso continuo part, or later pieces that usually included a part-book of Bassus generalis. Musicology recently took a new interest in early basso continuo practices by acknowledging that contrapuntal and chordal elements were features already to be found in the late 1580s, occasionally bringing up issues specifically on Del sonare sopra ’l basso con tutti li stromenti e dell’uso loro nel conserto (1607) by Agostino Agazzari (Nuti 2007, Dragosits 2012, Campagne 2014, De Goede 2014, Rotem 2019). While some scholars refers to Agazzari’s practice as a new and free kind of accompaniment, some others tend to highlight the relation between this practice and intabulations/written-out examples. Here, the concept of playing the thorough bass in concerto is explored as a series of complex techniques, which display elements of improvisation, ornamentation and counterpoint at the same time. The whole spectrum of possibilities will be assessed for both bassisti — so severely criticised by Adriano Banchieri and Girolamo Diruta — and for those expert musicians, who had skills in counterpoint and employed intabulations/spartiture. The second category will be the specific focus of this contribution, starting from Giovanni Maria Artusi’s account of what he witnessed in Ferrara and Ercole Bottrigari’s definition of concert as a dialogue. In particular, Anthony Newcomb (1978) argued that singing to one’s own instrument is a concertato performance in itself, and Laurie Stras (2018) showed in her in-depth work on the Concerto segreto and Ferrarese performance contexts that are no clear boundaries between concerted music and the so-called traditional polyphonic repertoire. By reconsidering Newcomb and Stras’ conclusions and giving practical examples from treatises and repertoires of different instruments, this paper tests hypotheses in the field and examines in detail the huge variety of practices presented by Agazzari.
