I always loved teaching ...
... it is a way of reflecting and learning, and therefore I am a teacher at three universities. The lockdown in 2020 made new ways of teaching necessary and online lessons triumphed. They offer many advantages (such as eliminating disctances, a flexibilty in scheduling, etc.) we can profit from not only during but also after this health crisis. Therefore I decided to offer these E-Learning programs in which I am happy to share my experience and knowledge also online. Since I was researching and writing my PhD for the last four yours on the secret signs of Marin Marais this topic receives a particular emphasis.

Marais´ secret alphabet and its application
A course to share secrets of Marais’ alphabet with you. It was developed to ensure that his music was played in the greatest detail with “the right taste”. It was long lost and re-constructed after the discoveries of new source by Vittorio Ghielmi and me.
New sources with potentially ground-breaking material were discovered by Vittorio Ghielmi and Christoph Urbanetz, that give new insights on the French viol technique and on the French performing arts of the 17th-mid 18th century in general: Manuscript markings from the 18th century that derive from the school of Marin Marais or from the Master himself describe highly refined playing gestures and movements. Notated as an alphabet of codes, they are so detailed that one can imagine “seeing” a video of Marin Marais playing: a visionary system to show the process of playing in action and to describe the artistic process by observation, reflection and analysis note per note.
- Lesson 1: introduction to the secret alphabet and the results of my research
- Lesson 2: Performance of Marais´ music explaining the application of the secret alphabet
- Lesson 3: Students have the possibility to work with me on a piece by Marais or French baroque composer.
