BACH, Johann Sebastian

Partita for flute solo in A minor BWV 1013 (version for oboe)

II. Courante

Hansjörg Schellenberger, professor

Nuria Cabezas, student

In this masterclass, Schellenberger starts pointing out the characteristic tempo of this movement: it is faster. He mentions the metrical and tempo differences between Italian or French Courante.
Afterwards, the professor underlines the breathing work and the importance of the voices. He also makes some corrections on phrasing, relaxation and better places to breath considering the harmonic structure. Besides, Hansjörg Schellenberger makes comments on mouth and jaw position, support, tuning or articulation, among other musical issues.
