Description
Notes are not 7! They are 6!
The note Si does not exist, or rather, it is a fairly recent invention.
Music education in the Renaissance and Baroque periods began with the teaching of choral singing, which was integrated with or subsequently followed by the study of Solfeggio.
A type of Solfeggio very different from the modern one, both from the Fixed Do and the Moveable Do.
A type of Solfeggio based on scales of 6 sounds called Hexachordal Solmization!
In this book, you will discover the historical sources and the centuries-old tradition of this lost but highly effective method of music education!
