‘Harpsichord en fête’: Concert with Jan Waterfield and László Rózsa
Join the Institut Français d'Ecosse for a concert with Jan Waterfield and László Rózsa at St Cecilia's Hall on 2nd March as part of the “Harpsichord en fête” festival!
About ‘Harpsichord en fête’: Concert with Jan Waterfield and László Rózsa
László Rózsa (Recorder) and Jan Waterfield (Harpsichord) will be presenting “Looking at the smaller picture : Diminutions and variations from late sixteenth and early seventeenth-century Italy”.
This programme explores the beauty of Diminution; a popular concept in the 16th & 17th centuries.
Musicians would take a popular song or chord progression & thoroughly investigate its possibilities; a bit like taking each note & putting it under a musical microscope. ’Diminution’ therefore expands the musical landscape, rather than diminishing it. These creations could be written out, or improvised, or a mixture of both.
