Abstract
In the wake of the revival surrounding Giuseppe Tartini, a new international project aims to analyze the networks orbiting around his figure, primarily those connected to the violin school he founded. The project will reconstruct the impact of Tartini‘s teaching through the School of Nations; study his pedagogical materials, their use and reception; and examine the transmission of music via printers—that is, the actual dissemination and circulation of manuscripts and prints related to Tartini and his students across Europe. It asks what the terms ‘student‘ and ‘school‘ truly mean in the eighteenth-century context of violin pedagogy, and how the careers of students can be reconstructed and analyzed based on the roles played by their patrons and printers. Tracing a second generation of students will be crucial to understanding the educational legacy of Tartini diachronically, also in relation to other schools. The research is conducted using methods of digital prosopography, with the support of network analysis, thus finding a strong place within the digital humanities.
