Cíle předmětu
The subject Chamber Music performance enables students to get acquainted with the historically informed performance practise of early music. The student is in close contact with the style of baroque and classicist music through a large number of chamber music literature of these periods. During the course the students have the possibility to cooperate in variable instrumental and vocal settings - melodic instruments, instruments of the basso continuo section and voices. The student during the study compares different instruments, their possibilities, the interconnection of the style of music and the interpretation, ornamentation and performance. After completing the subject, the student should achieve an artistic-interpretative level that will allow him to apply his newly acquired knowledge not only as a player in chamber ensembles but also as a solo player, i.e. that the student is guided during the study so that after completing the subject he may be a flexible chamber music player with a separate ability to operate a historically informed performance practise.

  • Time period: 17th century to the first half of the 18th century (1650–1750).

  • It is necessary to carefully explore the precise significance of musical symbols in every period of musical history and ascertain how they have evolved in the course of time.
  • There is good reason for students to work with manuscripts and editions of the period.
  • Students are encouraged to expand their repertoire, focusing on the detailed study of the Baroque compositions of French, German and Italian composers, as well as compositions by Czech composers who emigrated.
