Abstract

This paper aims to point out in Silvestro Ganassi’s work the presence of classical oratory concepts widely cultivated in the Venetian environment between the 1530s and 1540s. The influence of these elements in the author’s work is noted for the high degree of sophistication of content and the constant comparison between the two arts, especially with regard to the parts of speech dealing with the pronunciation, which in this case is directly related to musical performance. Taking into account the Venetian political environment and the humanistic ideas circulating within the literary academies of the city in the sixteenth century, we intend to make selection of several passages in the work of Ganassi who make direct or indirect reference to the art of oratory, so that, to relate them to their respective sources, we have a greater understanding of the meaning that the musical performance acquired in this environment.
