We would like to thank our sponsors and everyone who supports our competition
The course is offered to:
Pianists, Teachers, Students, Interested Amateurs
These courses are intended to foster appreciation and closer engagement
with the keyboard works of J. S. Bach. This is achieved when the textual
and stylistic demands of the music come in contact with the pianist’s
personal interpretive capacities.
Every pianist will receive 2 hour-long (2 x 60 minute) lessons over two days.
One lesson per day.
Listening to lessons of other masterclass participants is encouraged.
Minimum number of participants is 4.
