Timothy Barratt
Friday 6 – Sunday 8 November
Level: Intermediate
Fee: £200
Course No. 3160
Solo Study Course
This course for pianists of Grade 6 and above standard explores the excitingly wide diversity of 20th/21st century piano music ranging from late Romanticism and French Impressionism through to experimental techniques of more recent years. The tutor Timothy Barratt, who studied with Vlado Perlemuter, one of the foremost exponents of French music and himself a pupil of Ravel, will lead sessions consisting of open workshops on prepared pieces within a supportive and friendly atmosphere and discussion on repertoire, style and technique.
Repertoire is own choice but a list of suggestions with approximate standards is supplied. Participants should prepare two or three pieces and, in addition, may wish to explore some of the duet repertoire of the period.
