Course for Portative Organ / Organetto
Oktober 26 - 28, 2012, D-Schwaebisch Hall (Germany)
Catalina Vicens & Stefan Keppler
Being a quite unknown keyboard instrument,
this small portative organ is one of the most expressive keyboards ever alive.
This course is oriented for beginners who want to get basic knowledge and technique for playing the instrument, and for advanced musicians who want to get an overview of the possibilities of the organetto in terms of repertoire, expression resources, phrasing and composing an accompaniment line.
We are going to discuss and experience practically the following question:
How to play... How can I develop the organetto technique?
What to play... When and where was this instrument used?
Playing with one hand... Can we only play monodies?
Playing with others. ...Was it played alone or accompanied by other instruments.?
Playing with the soul... How to discover the expression possibilities with the bellow?
We are going to answer all these question by individual work, and by playing together.
You don´t need to own a portative organ to come to this course. Instruments, if necessary, are going to be provided in limited numbers by "Wolkenstayn Portative Organs".
