This volume explores the long-lasting phenomenon of basso continuo in the Italian peninsula, from its origins, i.e. from the "regole per suonare sopra il basso" which collects and develops the contrappunto alla mente’s legacy, up to the late partimento pedagogy. In addition to a bibliographic update, the volume presents case studies providing the reader with new information on performative contexts and performance practice between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries, and shedding new lights on sacred and secular genres and repertoires cultivated in churches, theatres, academies, noble chambers and domestic environments.

This book represents a group of individual musical essays collected under common Albanian themes, with a particular focus on historical identities and traditional musical performance. It shows that, at the beginning of the 18th century, there was a growing interest in representing the Albanian hero Scanderbeg on the operatic stage, as some well-known composers of baroque music began to place a greater emphasis on music's dramatic power to elicit emotional response. The book also notes that this sense of drama was also incorporated into the vocal forms such as opera.
