Presentation
This workshop offered by the Almaviva Trio and focusing on the French contemporaries of Beethoven (Onslow, Dussek, Paër), is intended for previously formed trios or, lacking the same, for young musicians (piano, violin, cello) who may be brought together for the session.
Regular practice of period instruments is preferable but not compulsory; string players should at least adopt gut for the two higer strings, as well as a classical-style bow (lending possible during the week of training).
Several early pianos and copies will be made available to the participants.
For the session participants will prepare a work chosen withing the French repertory of the François-Lang Music Library (photocopies supplied) in addition to works from the same period taken from their repertory.
