Talk:Partimento

Opening Paragraph
The new paragraph, which is taken from Monuments of Partimento defines a Partimento as an instructional bassline which is good but I feel the previous paragraph was a little more fleshed out. Can we have a merger of both definitions? I like the newer paragraph as well. Do we have sources for Bach, Handel and Mozart teaching/studying partimenti? As much as possible we need to cite the original sources. I've reached out to Professors Sanguinetti, van Tour and Pollaci for assistance. Ronster2019 (talk) 01:11, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Revival
Alma Deutscher is definitely a good person to mention. I found two good references, Child Composers by Gjerdingen and an article The Inner Workings of Alma Deutscher's Musical Genius in Executive Intelligence Review, 2007. Her story can be added to the "notes" section, without crowding the whole section, which should be concise. I'm curious why the previous editor initially deleted Tobias Cramm and John Mortensen from the "notable modern players" sentence before deleting all of the new players entirely?

How was Partimento Taught vs Taught to Children?
We could add that this was to children in the History section and keep this mainly about how it was taught in general.Ronster2019 (talk) 01:54, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Notes : "A parent could try to monitor such research, hoping to put their child into the ideal music program. But research related to music cognition appears almost daily." Child composers
Maybe we can put this is a different section? Ronster2019 (talk) 01:17, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Please do not Copy/Paste from sources, we must paraphrase
To improve this article, and to prevent it from being flagged for deletion, avoid WP:COPYPASTE and instead you must paraphrase. If you find sentences that seem copy-pasted you can really help the article by rewording them.Ronster2019 (talk) 12:32, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

Bach, Handel, Haydn and Mozart studying and teaching partimenti
Do we have more specific quotes? Bach copied a Durante Mass, Haydn studied with Porpora.. but do we have excellent sources that specifically mention partimento? This is a partimenti article, not "the italian school" article. Ronster2019 (talk) 12:31, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

Live Examples on Page (Lilypond)
Pianohanstudio, you've mentioned that the live examples are "technical clutter". I spent several hours figuring out lilypond's code to put in the examples, I think they add tremendous value to new visitors who want an encyclopedic article on partimento and can hear real examples. Many other Featured Articles on Wikipedia use live examples and if executed well, make the page very aesthetically pleasing because it's not just a theoretical wall of text. I think the captions beneath each example could definitely be improved upon because we want to paraphrase. Ronster2019 (talk) 12:41, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

Alma Deutscher
I believe her training in partimento has been sufficiently elaborated on in the "Notes" and citations. Is there a need to further comment on her training? Wouldn't that be more relevant on the Alma Deutscher page? Ronster2019 (talk) 13:17, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

Explanation
It'd be great to have an article about partimento that actually explained what it was, and how to read and write it. This one does not. 2601:600:A480:D8E0:8DD2:880F:7EE2:EA21 (talk) 03:57, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
