As a book-category, "Basso continuo" would encompass works devoted to the theory, history, practice and performance of the Baroque practice of continuo playing and its modern applications: practical instruction and method books on reading and realizing figured bass for harpsichord, organ, lute, cello and bassoon; scholarly histories and analyses of continuo technique and its role in 17th–18th century ensemble music; critical editions and collections of basso continuo parts and figured bass realizations; pedagogical materials and exercises for students; and studies of ornamentation, improvisation and instrumentation choices. It would also include biographies of prominent continuo players and composers, repertoire guides, and contemporary manuals exploring how continuo principles inform modern composition and historically informed performance, aimed at musicians, teachers, and enthusiasts interested in the supportive backbone of Baroque texture.
