About RecordareDomineA415

• Biography Throughout the Renaissance and Baroque eras, Italy dominated the European cultural scene. The Renaissance movement began in Florence, its humanist philosophy leading artists to seek greater realism and emotion in their work, and spread throughout Europe to influence entire generations. Neapolitan conservatories become one of the most important centers of musical training in Europe. The Venetian composers invented new musical structures. The toccata and the sonata were Italian inventions as well: the former developed by Frescobaldi into a virtuosic freestanding work later taken to even greater heights by composers such as Bach; the latter brought to prominence by Scarlatti whose 555 sonatas provided models for others. Paisiello's colorful scoring and warm melodies influenced Mozart and his works. It is, therefore, impossible to imagine early music without Italy and its tremendous innovations and influences. Dedicated to Neapolitan, Venetian, Sicilian and Bohemian composers.
