Details in Classical Music

  • Agarita Loft 724 South Alamo Street #2 San Antonio, TX, 78205 United States (map)

How music became so specific, and why it matters. With Daniel Anastasio, pianist/lecturer.

From the sterile written scores of Bach to the picky instructions of Beethoven and beyond into the 21st century, how a composer chooses to write has massive effects on the performer’s interpretation, especially once the composer is no longer alive to elaborate. In this lecture, Daniel will explain the pros and cons of writing less versus more, how seriously to take extreme detail, and what to do when the composer hardly provides instruction.
