Johannes Brahms: Symphonies 1, 2, 3 and 4

One of the very few advantages of the fortunately dwindling lockdown of concert halls and conservatories is the opportunity to reconsider elementary and essential aspects of music.

For this reason we are continuing the work we have done in winter 2020/2021 on the symphonies of Robert Schumann and are going to resume the threads and dedicate the following months to the symphonies of Johannes Brahms in the workshop 'Methodical Pathways'.

• Analysis: The Observation of Form as Movement (after Constantin Bugeanu)
• Conducting technique (after Sergiu Celibidache)
• Bar group analysis
• Melos, Tempo
