Course content
The various aspects of orchestral playing are deepened. A homogeneous orchestral sound is the goal of the daily rehearsals. Works from different epochs show the peculiarities of the different tonal languages and their implementation. Technical details are worked out in register samples.
Rehearsals take place in the morning, late afternoon and evening. After-work sight-reading is available for the tireless.
