Partimento practice originated in Italy and the most important centre of this art was Naples. In general, partimento is a kind of an abbreviated form of musical notation. It uses the notation of basso continuo: it provides one voice, which in most cases is the bass part supported with figures of b.c. notation. The figures may be neglected if the performer is supposed to follow the so-called rule of the octave. Practicing partimento was a way to master compositional skills: thorough bass, harmony, counterpoint, form, texture, motivic coherence. Practicing this art was rewarded with an unparalleled fluency in improvisation on keyboard instruments. It was the basic method of composition teaching at the famous conservatories in Naples. The conservatories were founded in the 16th century as orphanages but from the 17th century onward they turned into important professional schools of music. The students of the conservatories attained the highest degree of musical knowledge enabling them to pursue great careers as composers and performers (both in the vocal and instrumental realm) in Italy and abroad. Besides Naples the art of partimento was taught in other Italian cities, e.g. Rome and Bologna. Its influence was also seen in other countries, mostly in Germany. Besides being exercises, the partimento notation was also included in pieces of music not necessarily intended for teaching purposes. Bernardo Pasquini (1637–1710) was one of the very first composers to write partimenti; however, he did not use the word “partimento”. His works for one or two keyboards, written as b.c., were called by him for example “basso”, “basso continuo”, “sonata”, “versetto”. An interesting question nowadays is if partimento is an old-fashion method of teaching or an inspiration for artists seeking for individual ways of own expression.

The 14 Sonatas for two harpsichords from Sonate per uno o due Cembali con il basso cifrato by B. Pasquini (British Library of London, position: Ms. Add. 31501, I) are unique examples of double partimento. So far, not many performers have referred to these works; therefore, they deserve much more attention. Employing contrapunctual techniques in their realisation seems highly interesting. The author describes and provides her own poliphonic realisation of selected pieces from this collection: Sonata II ms. I, II, III; Sonata V m. II; Sonata VII a due m. I; Sonata X a 2 m. II; Sonata XIII a 2 ms. I and II. This material may be an encouragement for farther studies and performance of these works. They are worthy to be a part of the widely known performance of these works.

Bernardo Pasquini (1637–1710) was one of the very first composers to write partimenti, albeit he did not use the word “partimento”. He titled his works for one or two keyboards, written in the form of basso continuo, as Basso, Basso continuo, Sonata, Versetto etc. One of his manuscripts that include partimenti, entitled Sonate per uno o due Cembali con il basso cifrato, is held in the British Library of London, under the signature number Ms. Add. 31501, I. Two works from this collection, Basso Continuo [II] and [Basso IV], are realised by the Author as fully composed pieces and presented below. The realisation of these Partimenti intends to engage a polyphonic texture according to the rules of basso continuo and counterpoint adequate to the aesthetics and techniques of the music from the Baroque era. Realisations represent different genres of instrumental music of the 18th century, they apply counterpoint (fugue, fughetta and imitation texture) or freer techniques (figurative sonata, polyphonic fantasia).

The article is devoted to the fragment of manuscript ms 10 stored in the Archive of the Benedictine Sisters in Przemyśl. The manuscript consists of 70 cards and comes probably from the mid-eighteenth century. The book, intended for the organist, consists of liturgical chants written in the soprano key with an accompanying bass line, exercises based on the bass line and 77 organ works. In addition, on the cards 64V-69V of this manuscript some observations about organ teaching are written. Those observations are subject for this very considerations and the text in the original grammatical and spelling form is attached to this article. The teaching notes from ms 10 are titled Understanding of good and bad consonances and consist of 29 unnumbered points illustrated with musical examples. They provide guidance on the implementation of basso continuo, organ accompaniment for plainchant and polyphonic singing and composing or organ improvisation. It is so far the only known text of this kind in the Polish language dating the eighteenth century. Author and copyist of this text remain unknown, but we can assume that it has been prescribed from another source by a nun-organist, and only in a small part reformulated. Its relationship to a female religious community is indicated by, apart from place of preservation, the endings of verbs appearing in the teaching notes. From the course of argument it can be concluded that the method of teaching included in the Understanding of good and bad consonances refers to the partimento tradition that began in the late seventeenth century in the Italian conservatories, and later, in the eighteenth century and early nineteenth, has been popularized in many parts of Europe through published books. The term partimento determined bassline, with or without numbering, which is the basis for improvising or creating self-composition. While dealing with the bass lines, a student learned at the beginning about the construction of intervals and chords and the way of conducting voices. When it was no longer a problem, he could expand the bass to the accompaniment or to the solo piece.

The fourteen sonatas for two harpsichords from the collection Sonate per uno o due Cembali con il basso cifrato by Bernardo Pasquini (British Library of London, shelf mark: Ms. Add. 31501, I) are unique examples of double partimento. Few performers have taken up these works so far; they deserve much more attention. Employing contrapuntal techniques in their execution offers very interesting possibilities. The author describes and presents her own polyphonic interpretations of selected pieces from this collection: Sonata II mm. I, II, III; Sonata V m. II; Sonata VII a due m. I; Sonata X a 2 m. II; Sonata XIII a 2 mm. I and II. This material may serve as encouragement for further studies and performance of these works. They are worthy of becoming part of staple concert repertoires.
