| Abstract | |
This research is focused on recovering the seventeenth-century sense of the concepts style and taste in music. Based on original works from the eighteenth century, presents the process of association between the ideas of taste and style during the eighteenth century, becoming the basis of terms as mixed tastes and gallant style, often used on descriptions of Georg Philipp Telemann (1681-1767) music. This study analyses the styles and tastes used by Telemann from a historical approach, using the classical rethoric in which the seventeenth-century authors based their writings; treatises about taste from the seventeenth and eighteenth century period; musical poetics from the seventeenth century and Telemann´s autobiographies (from 1718 an 1740). This work proposed the study of both concepts not only from the technical or national perspectives, but recovering its place on the rhetoric context of elocutio tied to the notion of decorum. The use of the previous terms in the works from the seventeenth century relates them to the suitability between different ways of composition for each circumstance and national taste, both ruled by decorum. Hence, these concepts are part of an unique musical notion, that can be better understood from the parallel perspectives of taste and style. In eighteenth century, taste ruled composition forms, generating peculiar styles from certain groups, countries and auctoritas. The two main normative parameters of taste in the period were French and Italian music. Thus, from the study and imitation of foreign styles, the practice known as mixed tastes was shaped - it was mentioned in the seventeenth-century German writings as gemischten Goût, vermischter Geschmack and German taste. From this imitation process, where following something as example was not understood as copying the content, but learning and practising the process of working on materials from various sources with the purpose of building something new, a new genre arises. It\'s called by Telemann and his contemporaries Concert en Ouverture, or Concertouverture. (AU) | |
