Course contents:

The didactics are tied to all instructional procedures including the specification of methodological outputs and the quality of outputs in interpretive fields. Parts of the course are; an overview of historical approaches to harpsichord playing methods and application of Baroque elements not only on 17th and 18th century practicing techniques but also modern instruction literature which is fundamental for the development of instrument technique (Czerny, Hanon, Berens).
