Martha Brickman – The Historical Approach to Baroque Music

The workshop covered the following topics:

• description of harpsichord and clavichord action: how they differ from the piano's action
• working with a clean unedited score: how to determine phrasing, tempo, articulation and dynamics
• discrepancies in notation: finger-pedalling, notes inegales and double-dotting. How to play problematic pieces
• rubato and improvisatory sections in Bach
• ornament notation in Bach, Scarlatti and the French composers
