For the final concert, we turn to more exotic flavours in Ravel’s output. Following some early settings of traditional Greek melodies, we focus on Ravel’s later works – his violin sonata with its American jazz and blues influences, the three Madagascan songs with flute and cello and Tziagne, a virtuosic violin work inspired by gypsy tunes.

Piano Trio

This concert of works from 1910 to 1920 celebrates Ravel’s French and Basque heritage. Following three movements from the Memorial to Couperin for solo piano, we hear the Sonata for violin and cello, dedicated to Claude Debussy, with whom Ravel had an ambiguous relationship. The second half of the concert features one of the composer’s great masterpieces, the Piano Trio. Composed as Europe was descending into World War One, it is admired for its ”Basque influences, shimmering colours, exoticism, fleeting shadows, and an underlying sense of quiet lament.” (Timothy Judd).

Vortrag für den Schweizerischen Musikpädagogischen Verband (SMPV)

Die Kunst der Bewegung - befreites Spielen durch Body Mapping
Body Mapping ist eine somatische Methode speziell für Musikerinnen und Musiker, die auf neurowissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen beruht und die Kunst der Bewegung beleuchtet.

In dieser 45-minütigen Einführung in das Body Mapping lernen die Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer über Bewegung, die Sinne und die Aufmerksamkeit beim Spielen und Singen. Dies wird dazu beitragen, die Bewegung von Musikerinnen und Musikern zu trainieren, indem die Wahrnehmung neu geschult und eine genaue und angemessene Körperkarte (Body Map) kultiviert wird. Die Einführung in ein umfassendes Bewusstsein kann helfen, Erfahrungen von Auftrittsangst zu transformieren.
