Summary

The present chapter continues the discussion about Neapolitan maestri/operisti who produced instrumental compositions, focusing on Domenico Cimarosa and Pietro Alessandro Guglielmi. The surviving instrumental works of Cimarosa and Guglielmi favor keyboard genres (solo and ensemble), reflecting the preferences of Maria Carolina. The evidence also includes larger forms such as the concerto and sinfonia, the latter bearing clues regarding possible performances by the Cappella Reale. The pieces examined in this chapter reveal the distinctive imprimatur of Neapolitan pedagogy, namely the presence of melodic schemata not only as a principal technical resource but also, and more importantly, as the fundamental core of a distinctive style.
