In principle, participants will receive an individual lesson each day, and the emphasis will be on the individual interpretation of a work. Particular attention is paid to the development of techniques and strategies for individual practice. On one hand, the short-term objective of the Masterclass will be the preparation of the final concert, on the other hand, pianists should enjoy greater long-term independence when developing a performance of a work. If possible, chamber music works will also be integrated, with participants from other instrumental classes.
