Abstract

Summary: Le violoniste italien Carlo Farina est l'une des figures les plus représentative de l'école instrumentale du début du XVIIe siècle. Né dans la Mantoue de la Renaissance tardive, il fut actif surtout dans les pays de langue germanique. Auteur de cinq recueils, il inscrit l'essentiel de sa production musicale dans le courant instrumental nord européen défini par convention consort music, répertoire où la tradition de danse à la française et surtout à l'anglaise jouèrent un rôle de tout premier plan. Les formes et les traits stylistiques de ces genres musicaux portent en effet l'empreinte de compositeurs tels que William Brade, Thomas Simpson ou John Dowland. Auteur du célèbre Capriccio stravagante, Farina incarne ainsi de façon exemplaire le mélange des idiomes et des styles qui caractérisent le langage instrumental allemand du début du XVIIe siècle. Cette étude dédié au violoniste italien se compose de deux grandes parties, la première est consacrée a sa vie et à l'ensemble de son

Abstract

Early seventeenth-century Italy saw a revolution in instrumental music. Large, varied, and experimental, the new instrumental repertoire was crucial for the Western tradition-but until now, the impulses that gave rise to it had yet to be fully explored. Curious and Modern Inventions offers fresh insight into the motivating forces behind this music, tracing it to a new conception of instruments of all sorts-whether musical, artistic, or scientific-as vehicles of discovery. Rebecca Cypess shows that early modern thinkers were fascinated with instrumental technologies. The telescope, the clock, the pen, the lute-these were vital instruments for leading thinkers of the age, from Galileo Galilei to Giambattista Marino. No longer used merely to remake an object or repeat a process already known, instruments were increasingly seen as tools for open-ended inquiry that would lead to new knowledge. Engaging with themes from the history of science, literature, and the visual arts, this study reveals the intimate connections between instrumental music and the scientific and artisanal tools that served to mediate between individuals and the world around them.
