Course objectives
Course objective: 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. Outline: Focus on topics: declamation and rhetoric, phrasing including, the hierarchy of beats, gestures, tempo, rhythm and rhythmic elements, the creation of ornaments and melodic decorations (appoggiaturas, trills, free ornaments, vibrato, messa di voce, glissando, etc.).
