Weekend finally! #Zacconi #latte
The most beautiful and perfect thing sought in diminution is tempo and measure, which embellisches and seasons the collection and aggregate of figures; whoever departs measure and tempo loses at the end because of a fine scattering of notes without results.
L.Zacconi, Prattica di musica (1592)か ツァッコーニの続き。ディミニューションではまずテンポキープが肝心ということを力説しています。大きなテンポの枠組みから逸脱していては、いくら華麗なパッセージで飾っても効果的はでないということなのでしょう。
However much the things that were embellished by artifice have been old-fashioned, those of today are just as much embellisched by the detailed studies of many, because of claver talents always find new ornamentations. So whoever looks at this or that piece, even though it was embellisched by careful study and long, serious effort, will find new beauties have been added to the ornaments.
L.Zacconi, Prattica di musica (1592) 後期ルネサンス期の最も重要な音楽理論書の一つ。ツァッコーニはここで主に声楽のための装飾法およびディミニューションの実践法について丁寧に語っていきます。前置きとして彼は、すでに時代遅れになってきている装飾もあれば、入念に研究されたあとで施された当世風の方法を学んだ人々もやがては新しい方法を見出すだろうと言うのです。ディミニューションも装飾もまさに「生き物」のような存在と捉えているのですね。
