UNIFYING STYLISTIC ELEMENTS IN THE DIVERSITY OF (BASSOON) BAROQUE MUSIC (2: FRANCE, GERMANY)

Abstract

The paper discusses several preliminary stylistic elements concerning the interpretation of the Baroque repertory for bassoon. The score of a Baroque music piece is a frame that the musicians-interpreters decorate with improvisations and ornaments. The rules to apply differ from one stage of the Baroque to another, from a geographic area to another, from a composer (interpreter) to another.
