Heard

Baroque style · 1600–1750

The named 6/8 print type of the Baroque tarantella reaches the social 6/8, not the ritual room.

Influence
Tarantella napoletana practice · 1600–

If the city name and 6/8 type left Naples, Pizzica hears that label.

Influence

Pizzica

practice · prehistoric–

Also called pizzica salentina, pizzica pizzica

Salentine tamburello dance-and-song: social pizzica pizzica and, historically, the curative music of tarantism (pizzica tarantata). It is a practice, a sibling of the other named Southern dances, not a child of a tarantella umbrella and not Canzone napoletana. Empty extra Given is historically checked. The ritual job has no honest parent among current files (Greek mousikē is refused). The social 6/8 may hear Baroque and, contestably, the city Tarantella napoletana. Other Southern tarantelle leftover as siblings. Notte della Taranta guests leftover, not Worldbeat.

Passed on

Nothing in the corpus yet that this genre passed on.

Baroque → Pizzica

meter and grooveform and structurestrength: lowwell documented1700–1900notationdanceoral

Mechanism

The named 6/8 print type of the Baroque tarantella reaches the social 6/8, not the ritual room. Strength low: a family name and pulse, not a rewrite of local step and kit.

Evidence

Tarantella as a seventeenth- and eighteenth-century published dance; Grove on the name; local festa continuity that does not depend on Naples song.

Debate

Whether these dances need the Baroque book at all. Alternative: older local dances that later borrowed a print name. Keep as a thin, documented naming hop. The thicker city-name claim is tarantella napoletana pizzica.

Tarantella napoletana → Pizzica

meter and groovefunction and contextstrength: lowcontested1750–1900danceoral

Mechanism

If the city name and 6/8 type left Naples, Pizzica hears that label. Strength low, certainty contested. If these are older local dances that later borrowed the name, this hop dies.

Evidence

Shared family name; print and tourist “tarantella” radiating from Naples; De Martino’s warning that tarantella is a family, not one content.

Debate

Sibling versus donor. Consensus is not settled. Keep the edge; do not mint a tarantella umbrella to tidy it.
