General-Bass is a certain characteristic system of writing and playing an accompaniment in the 17th and 18 century for keyboard and harmonic instruments used in chamber or orchestra music.
General-Bass evolved during those two centuries. First theoretical references of general-bass technique are dated around 1600. It was a renaissance motet technique die away and improvisation and polyphony baroque technique born time. Lodovico Viadanas treatise Cento concerti ecclesiastici from 1602 is a first written documented instruction of this technique.
Centre of general-basses development expanded from Italy to Germany and France. There was a separate specific evolve and theoretical treatises of general-bass in each country. Despite of the separation there was a influence and inspiration between of the particular country stiles of general-basses praxes.
The main representative are Francesco Gasparini, Georg Muffat and Francesco Geminiani in Italy Jean-Henri d´Anglebert, François Dandrieu, Michel de St. Lambert in France and Johann Mattheson, Johann David Heinichen and Johann Sebastian Bach in Germany.
Currently we are experiencing return of studies of historical general-basses treatises and arises modern textbooks of general-bass. There are two Czech translations of Jespera Bøje Christensens and Barbara Marie Willis textbooks available. Both authors based their textbooks on historical pedagogical systems and rules.

H.I.F.Biber: Eight sonats for violin from 1681
Koplík, Pavel ; MESSIEREUR, Petr (advisor) ; ŠTRAUS, Ivan (referee)
I was born in simple Moravian village where many traditions from the past still live today. As a violinist, while attending musical school I encountered the living traditions of folklore music. During my studies at the Conservatory in Kromeriz I found with astonishment that much of what I was doing intuitively in folklore music can be traced back to the heritage of early Baroque composers. Some of those important personalities lived in Kromeriz, too. One of them was Biber. His Sonata I was acquainted with - thanks to my professor - impressed me in such a way that I wanted to know more about this excellent violinist and composer. My thanks to the translator of Guido Adler´s study, Mr. Jiří Chrástecký for his excellent and selfless assistance.
