To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Musically it represents one of the first attempts at tone-picturing (Klang- malerei), and, however crude and even childish, the composer evidently was well aware of the powers of expression and character pertaining to bis instrument. He employs a considerable variety of bowing, double-stopping, and chords. The 3rd position, however, is not exceeded, and the fourth string not yet used. Tarquinio Merula (about 1640) shows a technical advance in frequent change of position, and especially in intro...ducing octave-passages. Paolo Ucelltnt, in his canzoni (1649), g 068 U P t° th° ^th position, and has a great variety of bowing. Hitherto (the middle of the 17th century) the violin plays but an un- important part as a solo instrument, and it is only with the development of the Sonata-form (in the old sense of the term) that it assumes a position of importance in the history of music The terms 'Sonata,' ' Canzone,* and 'Sinfonia' were origin- ally used in a general way for instrumental set- tings of all kinds, without designating any special form.
