Such a clear explanation. Nicola has a perspective point of view that allows him to understand and explain with absolute strength and clarity everything he studies and plays. Congratulations.

Excellent - I’ll have a look at that one. Great stuff.

Great video! Note: I'm not an expert in partimento, or fugue but I'll give my thoughts anyway:
Let's see... A partimento can be intended to be realized as a fugue. Fugues often go into different keys as was said in the video. Partimenti were also used as models for compositions (although there is the chicken and egg issue) . And Giuliani was Italian during the era of partimento. Is it not surprising that you can find a partimenti similar to Giuliani's composition if you look hard enough? Probably if you look hard enough you can find a partimenti similar to any piece of western music 1500-present if you look hard enough.
Great point about going into two part textures on guitar when using rule of the octave! We have to save our hands!

Thanks for your comment John! You're right, being Giuliani an Italian musician at the time, is pretty normal to find his music similar to partimenti. The point about Fughetta is that is the only piece that really looks like a clear realization of a Partimento and because of that is so useful to look at for us, as there are not other historical examples for the guitar.
