In Search of Perfect Harmony: Tartini’s Music and Music Theory in Local and European Contexts

Giuseppe Tartini (1692–1770) made history both as an outstanding composer andas an exceptional music theorist.Especially after he began to devote himself tospeculative reflections of music, Tartini seems to have been searching for harmonybetween music theory (which he studied in depth, even reaching back to ancientconcepts of music) and musical practice (his daily routine as composer and violinistat St Anthony’s Basilica in Padua and as violin teacher).The present 2nd volume of theseries focuses on both Tartini’s musical language and his theoretical deliberations.
