Summary/Abstract: In the historical development of music, there are eras in which there is a trend determined by the essential transformations that occur in the system of musical language. These are periods of establishing a new musical thinking and are characterized by a rethinking of all elements of culture and style, including the sign system for fixing the text of a musical work. In the Baroque era, the text of some of the works in the chamber instrumental genres was only partially noted. This is one of the reasons leading to an increase in the role of improvisation. Thus, the latter becomes an indispensable part of the composition, gives freedom and provokes the performer to seek new means of musical expression.
