About this exposition

Name: Patrícia A. Ferreira Vintém Main subject: Harpsichord Research coaches: Enrico Gatti and Kathryn Cok Title of Research: The Keyboard Sonata Accompanied by the Violin in England in the XVIII Century. Research Question: Why was the fashion of composing this kind of sonata widely spread and worthy of such attention in the eighteenth century, in England? Summary of results: The eighteenth century was fairly known and associated with a style in which the simple and charming music lines filled the halls of the middle class and high society. This was known as the Gallant Style. Music had different purposes and this specific repertoire, the accompanied sonata, such as pedagogical purposes was used in gatherings to entertain guests and give young ladies an opportunity to share their artistic accomplishments with their fathers, brothers or husbands who would accompany them on the violin. Many were the composers who dedicated these compositions to their students and patrons, and many were the publishers who attributed a quota of their catalogues to it. The keyboard sonata with the accompaniment for violin was a fashionable genre during the second half of the eighteenth century in the popular capitals of Europe such as London. Though this repertoire seemed to have an important role in the eighteenth century music consumption, nowadays little attention is given to it. This research aims to bring alive a genre now in oblivion, exposing the importance of rediscovering a repertoire which is part of the early music composers’ legacy. This research, presented through a visual aid and illustrated in audio excerpts, will expose the most important facts involved in the practice and development of this repertoire as well as its main characteristics. Biography: I am a Portuguese harpsichordist, who came to The Netherlands pursuing a deeper knowledge of Early Music performance. I graduated in harpsichord in 2009 in the Superior School of Music, Lisbon, concluded the Bachelor in 2013 in The Hague and I am currently finishing my Master’s degree. I have been instructed by Jacques Ogg and Fabio Bonizzoni. I have co-founded two ensembles: Les Esprits Animaux, with which I have recorded two CD’s and played in Europe, in main early music festivals, and also in Japan; and the DuoVintem&Lupiáñez, whose performance core is the repertoire presented in this research.
