Main content

 

Om seminaret:

Examples of general aspects of interpretation that will be discussed:

  • Structured evolution as a condition to get into the essence of a musical piece
  • Breathing as a decisive orientation to an understanding of the phrasing
  • The three main parameters to find melodic tension and distension: pitches, harmonic relationships and “extrovert” and “introvert” fifths.
  • The essence of tension and distension in the relationship of repetition
  • The essence of musical form: discovering musical form as an understanding of what creates a sense of unity in a piece of music and what this implies for the performer.
