Special Topics: Rebuilding a High Baroque Performance – Reintroducing Preluding, Improvisation, and Cadencing into Practice with Andrew Burn

  • SMC 167 200 Waughtown Street Winston-Salem, NC, 27127 United States (map)

To work on repertoire from the high baroque (as it is bassoon, not dulcian, repertoire) and help introduce the participants to preluding, bridging movements via an adagio and/or phrygian cadence, as well as explain where to incorporate a cadenza and how to compose in keeping with original examples and instructions. As source material, I would base my work on Hotteterre’s “L’Art de préluder, Op.7” (1719), Johann Joachim Quantz’s “Versuch” (1752), Francesco Geminiani’s “Art of Playing the Violin, Op. 9” (1751), as well as extant examples of transcribed improvisations.
