Elinor shares how studying solfeggio with Baragwanath has completely transformed her understanding of music — from harmony and phrasing to improvisation and composition — while Baragwanath explains how 18th-century training united singing, playing, and composing into one art. Together, they demonstrate real-time solfeggio improvisation, discuss the Carlo Cotumacci solfeggi, Guidonian hand, clef reading, partimento bass composition, and how these forgotten practices can revolutionize modern musicianship. 📚 Topics include: • How solfeggio reveals composers’ melodic thought • Why 18th-century training integrated improvisation and composition • Learning to hear and think like an 18th-century musician • The Neapolitan solfeggio tradition and Cotumacci’s 115 lessons • Rebuilding fluency in all clefs and hexachords • Elinor’s basso continuo training and cello improvisation • What music might have sounded like if hexachordal solfeggio had survived the Napoleonic era 🎻 Guests: Prof. Nicholas Baragwanath – University of Nottingham, author of The Solfeggio Tradition Elinor Frey – Cellist, scholar, McGill & Université de Montréal lecturer https://accademiadedissonanti.substac... http://www.elinorfrey.com/en/
