Master Classes Summer 2011

Menno van Delft: July 17 - 23

Program: "From Hassler to Haydn"

A course with a focus on the keyboard repertoire from the German countries.

For keyboard players like Scheidemann, Reincken, Weckmann, Froberger, Pachelbel and all members of the Bach family the harpsichord was inseparable from other keyboard instruments, such as the organ and the clavichord. What musical and technical enrichments did grow on the basis of this versatility? Which specific qualities of each instrument were appreciated and how were they developed?

We will work on several harpsichords & clavichords and make an excursion to the 17th C. organ of La Collegiata, San Quirico d'Orcia. Choices of repertoire outside the theme are welcome as well.

Course given in: English, Dutch, German, French
