Summary of This Sheet Music
7 Easy Pieces by J.S. Bach, G.G. Gastoldi, C. Gervaise, Ph. de Lavigne, C. Negri, and O. Vecchi brings together seven short pieces with very distinct characters, perfect for building a small repertoire and exploring different aesthetics of early music. The collection alternates between lyrical pages and dances, allowing work on both melodic line and pulse, accentuation, and rhythmic drive.
You will find "Questa dolce sirena" (Gastoldi) for legato sense and expressiveness, a "Contredance" (de Lavigne) with a clear rhythmic profile, as well as "Une jeune Fillette" (anonymous, arrangement by Manfredo Zimmermann) which highlights phrase clarity. The dances "Branle de Champaigne" (Gervaise) and "Pavana: Le forze d'Hercole" (Negri) invite attention to articulation and style, while "So ben mi ch'ha bon tempo" (Vecchi) brings a vocal color typical of the Renaissance. The collection concludes with a "Menuet" by Bach, ideal for approaching a more Baroque elegance, with particular focus on phrasing and accents.
