“A partimento that takes a tour of all the keys, both major and minor, and should be performed first with simple consonances and then with dissonances.” “Partimento che gira tutti i tuoni cosi di terza maggiore come di terza minore, da suonarsi prima colle semplici consonanze e poi colle dissonanze.” Editors note: At each stop on Fenaroli’s tour there is a new bass motion (movimento) drawn from his Book III rules (regole).
