Description

• Introduction to tablature and continuo playing
• Bass clef in lute tuning
• Technique/tone production on “low tension” instruments

An overview of the essential instruments:
19th-century guitar (prim, third, and multi-string guitars), vihuela, Baroque guitar, Renaissance lute, Baroque lute, arciliuto, chitarrone. The greatest challenge in playing these historical instruments, aside from mastering historical notation systems (tablature, continuo/bass clef notation) and the various tunings and scalens, is adapting to lower string tension—compared to the modern concert guitar—and a correspondingly lightweight construction, which is common to all historical plucked instruments.

• Solo and chamber music repertoire of the 15th–19th centuries
• Comprehensive technique and movement training to develop a versatile, flexible playing ability

Musicology

The goal is to break down the barriers between modern and historical performance practices and to provide students with guidance in developing their own artistic profile. The high degree of artistic flexibility gained through this process opens up a broader range of professional opportunities for graduates.
