Piva (dance)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Piva is one of the five dance types that appear in the first professional dance choreographies in Europe, which go back to Domenico da Piacenza and Giovanni Ambrosio (15th century). The name is identical to the Italian name of the bagpipe .

Of the five types of dance at the time, the piva has the fastest tempo after the saltarello , which it followed as a lute piece in Joan Ambrosio Dalza in 1508 as the second fast dance after the slow padoana and with these two dances represents an early pre-form of the suite. Both Piva and Saltarello are in 6/8 time, but the Piva tends to have a more simple rhythm, namely in the simple sequence of quarter and eighth notes (never the other way around!). A piva as a dance form has not been handed down to us before the Italian dance master's time, but it has been a rhythmic model since around 1300. The naming suggests that this comes from early instrumental music. That would be relatively significant because it has not been passed down anywhere else
