Johannes Tinctoris developed eight rules for this discipline in his three-book treatise on it. The most common taxonomy of this discipline was anticipated in Girolamo Diruta’s dialogue Il Transilvano. An author cited gout as the reason for not explaining a complex form of this discipline (15[1])in a work where he discusses a “florid” type of this (15[1])discipline with his master Aloysius. (15[1])It’s not ballet, but (*) echappée (10[1])and cambiata are introduced to students at higher levels (10[1])of this technique. Oblique and contrary are two of three classifications for motion within this discipline, which was grouped into five “species” by the author of Gradus ad Parnassum. (10[2])This technique is usually achieved by building from a cantus firmus. For 10 points, name this discipline codified by music theorists like Johann Fux, which describes the independent motion of two melodic parts. ■END■
