Improv10. Prelude and Fugue on Themes from the Audience
Lessons Applications, Inquiries, Comments for Nicola: nsc@juilliard.edu; ncanzano@umich.edu
As I walk on stage, I am provided a few themes on paper upon which I'm expected to improvise in this portion of a small mid-morning recital in Juilliard's Morse Hall. I use one theme as a prelude and turn one into a fugue subject. In my nervousness, I forgot to play the themes for the audience, but.I did ask the composer of the snippets to verify afterward that I didn't cheat!
