Fortspinnungstypus Ritornello Form. Basic Concepts and Terms. The Ideal Concerto Ritornello Form in the Work of Johann Sebastian Bach

Summary/Abstract: Ritornello form is one of the main constructive principles that Baroque music exploits. In spite of the great advance in research made by the Historically Informed Performance Movement (HIP), some modern studies on Baroque musical forms still use terms more appropriate for the Classical period and insist on finding at all costs genetic relationship between both styles, thus, preventing us from seeing clearly Baroque forms as what they really are. There is no chapter on ritornello form in the existing music analysis textbooks in Bulgaria. The present article’s purposes are to fill in partly this gap and to introduce the terms which refer to ritornello form. Invented by Wilhelm Fischer in 1915, these terms – Vordersatz , Fortspinnung and Epilog – are in wide circulation in all serious present day western studies on Baroque concerto. Discussing on representative examples from Antonio Vivaldi’s and Johann Sebastian Bach’s work, the author, a devoted Bach performer, illustrates the essence of these terms as well as the ritornello form as a complex and intriguing constructive principle.
