摘要:Over the last few decades research on Italian Trecento music – monodic and polyphonic, secular, liturgical and devotional – has made new discoveries and formulated new interpretative hypotheses, thus succeeding in opening up new and significant horizons. Hitherto unknown fragments of musical evidence have been discovered and fresh critical analyses put forward, along with new evaluations of theoretical approaches; notation; mensuration; composition techniques; poetic and musical forms; the textual tradition; mnemonic techniques; and traditions blending orality and writing. In addition to this, both the older and more recent legacies of knowledge have undergone fresh examination. The outcome of such a wealth of scholarly activity has been very positive, despite the fact that some areas of research have been overlooked. In particular, a problem exists with regard to contextualization: in order to be adequately dealt with, up-to-date inter-disciplinary areas of competence are required.
