Beschreibung:

Transcending Words—And Putting Them Back
1. C. P. E.’s Fantasia in C Minor asks the performer to imitate vocal idioms, without
having any text.
2. C. P. E. intended to transcend the need for text to guide the artist.
a. He thought instrumental music was particularly suited to this aim because of
the variety of expression available to the medium.
b. He was an early proponent of the argument for absolute music.
3. By the mid-eighteenth century, operatic style adopted the possibilities of expression
inherent in recitative, taking opera back to the sound of the early seventeenth century.
