Course contents
Learning objectives:
In this semester, the teacher approaches the student as an expressive musical personality who has no apparent problems in playing the instrument. The student's own creativity, precise fingering technique, quality of tone and intonation are pushed ever higher with the aim of achieving perfect performance of as many pieces as possible, especially from the repertoire of international competitions. The inclination of some students to interpret works by contemporaries and use experimental instrumental technique is accepted. The course is based on the most demanding requirements for the student's preparation. Compositions are chosen to be as technically and interpretatively challenging as possible. In connection with the choice of repertoire, an interesting thesis topic is also often chosen, which would eruditely complement and develop existing knowledge of the field.
Thematic areas:
- Maximum development and improvement of the student's strengths, especially in the field of tonal culture and his/her own musicality
- The search for new interpretations of modern compositional language in relation to modern techniques of playing musical instruments
- Psychological issues of stage performance, concentration and relaxation
- Study of competition and concert repertoire
- Choosing the topic of the Master´s thesis
