The Bolognese School of Music

blg_the_bolognese_school_of_music

Bologna will become the center of development for the concerto and the professionalization of the orchestra. By abandoning the unpredictable modal traditions of the past, we will establish the rigid architectural laws of modern major-minor tonality. This synthesis will transform the violin from a folk instrument into the primary voice of the Baroque era, standardizing the Trio Sonata and the Concerto Grosso. This apparent simplicity will soon become the benchmark of prestige, spreading from Italian cathedrals to the most distant European courts. It will also represent the final transition from the experimental Renaissance to the era of disciplined, instrumental virtuosity.
