The analysis of selected scores will be accompanied by insights into the treatises of the early decades of the twentieth century and a number of reflections on terminology.

Participants: Gianmario Borio, Mario Carrozzo, Pietro Cavallotti, Paolo Dal Molin, Federica Di Gasbarro, Francesco Fontanelli, Massimiliano Locanto and Ingrid Pustijanac.
