Friday 18th September 2.30pm
Walter Reiter
Walter Reiter is Professor of Baroque Violin & Viola at the Royal Conservatoire of The Hague, and at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, London. He will talk about Bach’s mighty Chaconne in D minor for solo violin, widely celebrated as a supreme pinnacle of musical architecture, human emotion and technical mastery. Brahms famously said that the piece, which lasts about 15 minutes, contains ‘a whole world of the deepest thoughts and the mightiest emotions’ on a single stave of music. The session will culminate in a performance of the Chaconne by Walter on a Baroque violin.
