This class explores Baroque interpretation and related violin technique through the analysis and performance of solo Bach violin repertoire. 

Key components

• Participants will prepare one movement of solo Bach of their choice and the first movement of Sonata No. 1 in G minor. 
• Students will analyze and study the repertoire together, identifying phrasing and cadences and working collaboratively to determine and apply interpretive tools such as time, sound production, tone color, dynamics, and articulation. 
• Students will perform for each other and offer feedback based on common criteria. Each student will be given specific assignments to practice in between classes.
