The Tartini Style, 2015

‘The Tartini Style’ was my contribution to the Norwegian Artistic Research Programme, a research project that concluded in 2015 and was subsequently recognised as Ph.-D. equivalent. The entire text can be downloaded from the Norwegian Research Information Repository.

The pursuit was to identify elements of Tartini’s personal style of performance, in particular his style of embellishment, and to develop a method to re-implement them in his music where other sources are insufficient. The subsequent recording, released on the label 2L in 2015, demonstrates this ornamental practice applied in typical slow movements, like the famous ‘Devil’s sonata’.

This recording is available on most online streaming services, like Spotify, Tidal, iTunes etc. The full album in hi-res multi-channel format is available in 2L web store for download or on Pure Audio Blu-Ray. Read more and listen under ‘Discography’.
