User talk:Lingzhi2/Recitative and aria

A few ideas
Hello, I came here via Talk:Johann Sebastian Bach, and was thinking about these suggestions regarding the Recitative and aria article you're developing: Sorry that the external sources for these ideas are mostly in German: if you'd need help to understand what's being said in that language, just ask, I'm sure I or someone else can help. --Francis Schonken (talk) 08:45, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
 * The first volume of Torri's Trastulli, see Pietro Torri: 14 secular chamber cantatas, each consisting exclusively of a recitative and aria pair.
 * – pp. 105ff., especially footnote 35 on p. 105, quoting Neumeister 1702 (recitative and aria, as introduced there and then in German Protestant church music, deriving from opera); and "cantata" originally meaning nothing else than a succession of recitatives and arias, without dicta and chorales.
