Music in the Galant Style is an authoritative and readily understandable study of the core compositional style of the eighteenth century. Gjerdingen adopts a unique approach; based on a massive but little-known corpus of pedagogical workbooks used by the most influential teachers of the century; the Italian partimenti. He has brought this vital repository of compositional methods into confrontation with a set of schemata distilled from an enormous body of eighteenth-century music; much of it known only to specialists; formative of the "galant style."
