The Amsterdam publisher Estienne Roger issued his first Op.

New copies of the Op. Similar figures might be cited for the other trio sonata collections; nor were these the only Corellian works to enjoy such general approbation. It is said [by Samuel Johnson in the preface to his edition of Shakespeare] there is in every nation a style, both in speaking and in writing, which never becomes obsolete; a certain mode of phraseology, so consonant and congenial to the analogy and principles of its respective language, as to remain settled and unaltered.

This, but with much greater latitude, may be said of music; and accordingly it may be observed of the compositions of Corelli, not only that they are equally intelligible to the learned and unlearned, but that the impressions made by them have been found to be as durable as general. His music is the language of nature; and for a series of years all that heard it became sensible of its effects; of this there cannot be a stronger proof than that, amidst all the innovations which the love of change had introduced, it continued to be performed, and was heard with delight in churches, in theatres, at public solemnities and festivals in all the cities of Europe for near forty years.

Men remembered, and would refer to passages in it as to a classic author; and even at this day the masters of the science, of whom it must be observed, that though their studies are regulated by the taste of the public, yet have they a taste of their own, do not hesitate to pronounce of the compositions of Corelli, that, of fine harmony and elegant modulation, they are the most perfect exemplars.

Sonatas are ordinarily extended pieces, varied by all sorts of emotions and styles, according to the fancy of the composer. There are sonatas of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 parts, but most usually they are for violin alone or for two violins with a basso continuo for the harpsichord, and often a more florid bass part for the viola da gamba or bassoon, etc. Thus there is an infinite variety of styles possible, but the Italians ordinarily reduce them to two types.

The first comprises the Sonatas da chiesa —that is, proper for the church—which differs from the second, comprising the Sonatas da camera —that is, proper for chamber use—in that the movements of the da chiesa type are Adagios or Largos, etc. For models see the works of Corelli.

Corelli published his twelve trio sonatas, Op. The entrance is usually with all the fullness of harmony figurated and adorned that the master of that time could contrive, and this is termed Grave. This Grave most aptly represents seriousness and thought. The movement is as of one so disposed, and if he were to speak, his utterance would be according, and his manner rational and arguing.

The upper parts only fullfill the harmony, without any singularity in the movement; but all joyne in a comon tendency to provoke in the hearers a series of thinking according as the air invites, whether Magnifick or Querolous, which the sharp or flat key determines. When there hath bin enough of this, which if it be good will not be very soon, variety enters, and the parts fall to action, and move quick; and the entrance of this denouement is with a fugue.

This hath a cast of business or debate, of which the melodious point is made the subject; and accordingly it is wrought over and under till, like waves upon water, it is spent and vanisheth, leaving the musick to proceed smoothly, and as if it were satisfyed and contented. After this comes properly in the Adagio, which is a laying all affaires aside, and lolling in a sweet repose: After this is over Action is resumed, for the most part concluding with a Gigue which is like men half foxed dancing for joy, and so good night.

Hawkins, surveying the forty-eight Corelli trios, found those of Op. The first, the fourth, the sixth, and the ninth Sonatas of this opera are the most distinguished; the latter has drawn tears from many an eye; but the whole is so excellent, that, exclusive of mere fancy, there is scarcely any motive for preference. The original title page for the Op. Title pages proclaiming a choice between two bass instruments were not infrequently accompanied by bass parts labelled with the names of both instruments.

Such doubling of the bass line became even more frequent in the eighteenth century though it was of course possible to give a leaner reading with only one bass instrument, or with harpsichord. Music furnishes a delightful recreation for the hours of respite from the cares of the day, and lasts us throughout life.

So wrote the seventy-four-year-old Thomas Jefferson in , eight years before his death. Six years later, a dancing master was engaged for six months to train Jefferson and his four sisters in one of the important social graces of the period. The extent to which Jefferson sought to integrate music into his life at Monticello is clear in a letter of he wrote to Giovanni Fabbroni, a friend of the Italian Philip Mazzei, who, during his first sojourn in Virginia —79 established with Jefferson what would become the first commercial vineyard in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

If there is a gratification which I envy any people in this world it is to your country its music. This is the favorite passion of my soul, and fortune has cast my lot in a country where it is in a state of deplorable barbarism.
