A Conversation for Baroque Music
No dissonances?
irishmaestro Started conversation Feb 4, 2006
Baroque music is not totally consonant. Dissonance is usually employed in slow movements (particularly in chamber sonatas) to achieve a sense of anguish or longing.
Examples of music which employs dissonance in such a way:
Corelli: XII Suonati a violino e violone o cimbalo, Op.5
4 Sets of XII Trio Sonatas, Opp. 1-4
