Claudio Monteverdi has given music history a number of musical ideas that continue to have an impact to this day – ostinate basses such as the "walking bass", the Ciaccona or the lamento bass with its four descending tones, dramatic lamentations such as the Lamento d'Arianna, heaped dissonances such as at the end of the Ballo delle ingrate, which sometimes straddle the boundaries of the atonal.
