Trezza

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Trezza was a 17th century dance that occurred mainly in southern Germany and Austria; she was also called Trezza Viennense (ie "from Vienna"). It should have the character of a gigue (Nettl, "Wiener ..."), a furlane (Nettl, "Adler ...") or a Courante or Gaillarde (Randel). It is "mostly in ¾ time" (so Nettl, "Adler ...") or "in lively ⁶ / ₄ or ⁶ / ₈ time" (Hirsch). According to Nettl (in "Adler ..."), the ⁶ / ₄ time is typical for the Trezza. The name is likely to come from the Italian “treccia”, which means “braid, braid, wickerwork”, which means something like “braided round dance”.

The Trezza is still important today as the designation of a movement in a series of pieces of music (just like gavotte , sarabande , gigue , minuet , etc.) for baroque composers. It occurs among others with Wolfgang Ebner (1612–1665), Johann Heinrich Schmelzer (around 1623–1680), Emperor Leopold I (1640–1705), Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber (1644–1704), Johann Pachelbel (1653–1706 ) and Andreas Anton Schmelzer (1653–1701).

A distinction must be made between the Trezza and the trecia , which appears as a sentence designation in Maurizio Cazzati ; it stands in straight rhythm; its nature is moreover unclear.
