How Solfeggio works in Fenaroli's Partimento Book 4, n. 2

Let's be clear: if we want to read the music of the 18th century, we must do it with the cognitive tools that a 18th century musician had.

Ancient musicians didn't think music in the same way we use today, they had a different system, based on a different way of feeling, looking and thinking.

One of this tool was Solfeggio, a technique of music reading based on 16th century Solmisation adapted to tonal music with all its key expansions.
