Playing Baroque Music on the Piano

By Informance, 2021-03-25 Posted in: Events, News

Pianists are often scared of playing Baroque music. Can I use the pedal? How do I deal with all those fiddly ornaments? What about articulation and dynamics? We’re delighted to be featuring two online events focussing on Baroque style as part of our Piano Day 2021 festival.

Baroque Style & The Harpsichord

Harpsichordist Jory Vinikour presents a performance-lcture on playing baroque music
Harpsichordist Jory Vinikour (Nuccio DiNuzzo / Chicago Tribune)

The first is a special lecture-demonstration and performance by twice-grammy-nominated harpsichordist and conductor Jory Vinikour. Jory will show you the inner workings of the harpsichord and discuss various aspects of Baroque style, including articulation and ornamentation with reference to works by Bach, Couperin, Rameau and more.

Baroque Workshop for Pianists

Graham Fitch demonstrates aspects of playing baroque music

This presentation will be followed by a workshop in which Graham Fitch discusses how to play Baroque music stylistically and expressively on the piano. Graham will draw upon his background as a harpsichord student and pianist to demonstrate how the ideas presented by Jory can be applied pianistically to enable you to approach Baroque music fearlessly, informed by historical practices.
