This ia a culmination of our Grosse Fuge Project and our two-year Late Beethoven Series at the JDP Music Building in Oxford. This Study Day is for string players and non-players who want to understand and gain insight of this masterwork. We will begin our preparations prior to the study day with an online sectional given by each member of the Villiers Quartet. Using our prepared parts, we will go through the Grosse Fuge in detail and give you practical tips on how to prepare for the day itself.
The study day will be divided into two parts: In the first session, the Villiers Quartet will discuss the historic context of the piece, explore the complex harmonic language, dissect the complex textures and demonstrate this in our open rehearsal. In the second part of the day the VQ will lead a coaching session and a ‘playalong’ of the piece.
The aim is that by the end of the day, we will all have a much more extensive appreciation of this great and puzzling work!
Fee: £100 - Player / £45 - Student / £50 - Non-playing Observer
