Citole and medieval plucked cordophones.
Profesor: Peppe Frana.
We will work on plectrum techniques, hypothesis of performance practice, iconography and organology regarding the citole and it’s relation with other medieval plucked cordophones (lute, gittern, cetra etc.) with a special focus on monophonic ars antiqua repertoires.
Periodicidad:
Una clase de 2 horas cada quince días.
Si el nivel de los alumnos es muy distinto quizá haya algunas clases individuales de una hora y otras grupales para aspectos más generales. El día está por definir, pero estarán excluidos los fines de semana, casi con toda seguridad.
Clases online, en inglés e italiano.
