In light of this discussion about 2-figured-bass pieces, it's quite a coincidence that I performed in one at the International Baroque Institute at Longy (Cambridge, MA) from which I just returned. It was a canonic sonata by Pietro Locatelli. The canon wasn't just in the treble line (like in the Goldbergs); it was in the continuo as well. So band #1, with violin, cello, and harpsichord, played the piece, and band #2, same instruments, played the exact same piece two beats later. Better not get lost!
I did spend some time on the airplane trying to resurrect the capability in PMX, but it's going to be rather complicated, so please don't hold your breath. --Don Simons > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Luigi > Cataldi > Sent: Thursday, July 22, 2004 7:44 AM > To: Typesetting music with TeX > Subject: Re: [TeX-music] Two figured bass line in PMX > > > Thank you very much Don! > > I'll wait for this function. > My interest for those strange pieces is essentially musicological: the > violin sonata influence on the keyboard music after Corelli.
