“On the way to the classics”

Let’s explore together the path from the Baroque to the Classical era!

Discover the capriciousness and rich variety of characters in galant music, as well as the mature forms of the Classical style. We warmly welcome all interested participants playing Baroque, Classical (with four or more keys), or modern instruments. This year’s course will focus primarily on galant and Classical (or early Romantic) repertoire, including works by C.P.E. Bach and his contemporaries, as well as Classical sonatas. There will also be opportunities to discuss orchestral parts and to play chamber music.
