Bach & romanticism
Some scholars who specialize in aesthetics (both of music and in general) argue that there is some affinity between two historical periods surrounding a third. Thus, for instance, there are shared aesthetic values between the Renaissance and Classicism, and between this and Neo Classicism. Between the former two, there is the Baroque era, and between the latter two is Romanticism. And, indeed, there are several points in common also between the Baroque and the Romantic era. This is of course a schematic and simplistic view, but also one not deprived of a grain of truth. In fact, the Romantics looked with respect and awe to the Baroque era; indeed, theirs was the first generation which, as a whole, took a historicist approach to music, and began to appreciate, study, and also perform the music of past eras.

Improvisations on gregorian chant and medieval monodies with Elisabetta Nessi.
Recording from the first concert of “Aspettando il Festival 2022” dedicated to improvisation on Gregorian themes. The first theme, Beata Viscera, is a monody composed by Magister Perotinus magnus (c. 1160 - 1230), one of the first chapel masters of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris. The monody is contained in a collection of compositions called Magnus Liber Organi. It is followed by three Gregorian chants: Ave Maria, Ave Maris Stella and Salve Regina.
