Description

Folio piccolo, pp. (4), iv, 126, 1 c.b. e 77 tavole di musica. Legatura in carta azzurrina.the Traité de mélodie (1814) was being examined for the Académie by Méhul at the time of his death. Concerned primarily with melodic phraseology, this treatise examines melody apart from its relation to harmony. It distinguishes rhythm from metre, differentiates among cadential goals of unequal strength (using the analogues of 18th-century grammar and rhetoric) and supplies one of the first descriptions of sonata form that emphasizes thematic rather than tonal aspects. Comments on singers’ embellishments and the use of national airs to impart local colour round out the treatise.
