Objectives and content
The aim of the writing course is to train the ear, acquire a knowledge of styles and master the various techniques of musical rhetoric.
The fugue and form class aims to:
- To deepen the practice of counterpoint by working on its application in fugal-type developments, on various models (single, double, triple fugue, sonata fugue, passacaglia fugue);
- To develop creativity and a sense of form in large-scale forms and to study the conduct of musical discourse through its various components (harmonic rhythm, organisation of the phrase, etc.), using various forms as a basis, principally the sonata allegro.
-
