The Basso Continuo in Bach's Music
A lecture/demonstration by
Dr. Guy Whatley
(*the lowest line of music)
 Learn more about the foundation of Baroque music and about the tremendous skills involved in making this music come to life. This lecture/demo by Dr. Guy Whatley (website/bio) showcases the mysterious creation of a keyboard part from a single bass line and some tiny numbers.
Whether you are a complete “newbie” or hold a doctorate in music, you can gain some insight into the creative process involved in “realizing” the continuo. (Click on the image to the right for a PDF poster suitable for printing and sharing!)
