APST 121A - Bach at the Clavier

CC CNDP

1 credit
An introduction to the harpsichord for pianists, focusing on the music of J.S. Bach. This course allows students to experiment with historical styles, techniques, and instruments, applying what they’ve learned to their interpretation of Bach at the piano. Topics include articulation, fingering, meter, arpeggiation, and ornamentation. Students are expected to bring to class pieces by Bach they are studying or have studied in the past. This is a one-module course; students may also consider enrolling in APST 120A and/or APST 120B (Time Travel for Pianists) as a modular complement to this course. May be repeated for credit with permission of the instructor.
