Description:
The problems of ornamenting a slow movement were as apparent in the 18th century as they are to players today: even Charles Burney admitted that it was an area 'in which performers of great powers of execution often fail'. Carlo Zuccari comes to the rescue with a dozen sample adagios printed with both the simple line and a decorated alternative; there are no written rules in his collection - simply teaching by the direct method, and applicable to all melodic instruments (violin, flute, oboe, cello etc).
