Fenaroli, a composer from the Haydn generation, studied with the great master Durante in Naples. Fenaroli rose through the ranks of teachers to became one of the co-directors of the combined conservatories of Naples in the early nineteenth century. Printed editions of his partimenti became common from about 1800, and they remained continuously available from many publishers until the twentieth century. Fenaroli had produced a book of rules first published in Naples in 1775. Ninetheenth-century editions of Fenaroli’s partimenti incorporated his Rules as the third of six "books" ( libri ). These six books present a clear and steady progression from the very simple to the truly difficult. |
