Cíle předmětu
The subject supports the creativity and personality of the student and prepares them for independent work in highly competitive environments. Studying the subject prepares the student for the variability and flexibility of the labour market. The student has the opportunity to connect the theory of the historically informed performance practise beyond their skills on a classical or historical instrument. The future graduate of the subject should acquire the knowledge, ability and skills so as to incorporate them into their concert activity. The aim of this course is to prepare the student for authentic interpretation in solo and ensemble playing, as well as in specialized orchestras. For students to correctly interpret the early music, it is necessary that they be familiarized with the relevant issues: tempo, instrumental setting, articulation, phrasing, tuning, ornamentation, etc. All these questions need to be supported by the corresponding literature.

  • The study of the performance practices of early music concerns: the study of notation and the close reading of textual criticism, so as to eliminate later errors and amendments (critical editions of original versions), illustrations of instruments, musicians and musical performances, literary descriptions of musical performances, theoretical evidence concerning, for example: the teaching of composition and instrumentation, practical instructions for performing, such as those found in first editions official documents about musicians and lists of performers old performance practices which are still in use to this day.
  • Examples of discussed topics: Principle sources – treatises on performing: The writings of J. J. Quantz, C. P. E. Bach and L. Mozart are considered to be the primary sources of information about the period aesthetics of the performance. These treatises contain theoretical information about playing specific instruments. There are certain instruction manuals about good performance practice, tempos, ornamentation, communication between musicians, etc.
  • These days, as a result of equal temperament, we have lost the earlier awareness of the intense relationships of keys and intervals. In the 18th cent. this was simply a matter of course.
