Performance Practice for the Modern Musician: an introduction to style
Ivars Taurins, presenter

​What do we as musicians do to distinguish the musical languages of Bach or Biber from those of Brahms, Bartok, Britten, or Binchois? With the aid of baroque treatises and scores, Tafelmusik's Ivars Taurins will explore the general and specific theoretical and stylistic issues - the "rules of thumb" - of 17th and 18th century music, providing a historically informed basis for the interpretive decisions we make as 21st century musicians.
