Overview of this Method
This educational workbook brings together 50 pieces by composers such as Dowland, Mainerio, Ortiz, Playford, Selle, Uccelini and other major figures from the early music repertoire. Designed for ensemble practice, it offers highly accessible figured bass lines to encourage group playing, listening and musical creativity. It is particularly well suited to historical improvisation sessions, an introduction to continuo playing and work with student ensembles.
Level 2 is intended for musicians who wish to progress after an initial introduction. The progression focuses on essential continuo bass playing skills without resorting to an overly theoretical or discouraging approach. Students work on the fundamental patterns of early music language while remaining connected to concrete musical pieces that are enjoyable to play and artistically stimulating.
With its resolutely practical approach, this method promotes a lively exploration of continuo playing: accompanying, improvising, supporting a melodic line and developing harmonic instincts in real-life situations. It is suitable both for teaching and personal practice, particularly for instrumentalists wishing to enrich their stylistic awareness and acquire a solid foundation in improvising over a given bass.
