EXHIBITION OF HISTORICAL MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS AT THE CASTELLO DI DUINO

	WORKING EXCLUSIVELY ON ORIGINAL INSTRUMENTS The participants will enjoy the unique opportunity of playing and performing exclusively on the more than 40 original viols of the Vázquez Collection. One cannot describe how much one learns, how many insights one acquires, by working directly with the originals. In fact, you should only bring your viol if it is older than 250 years. Otherwise participants will use one of the viols in the collection. This year, the English viols will be placed in one hall, together with English consort music. The Italian viols with Italian music will be in another hall. The German & Austrian viols in other halls, with corresponding repertoire. The viols will stay, but the participants and tutors will change halls during the course. Violinists, violists, violoncellists and double bass players may also avail themselves of an appropriate historical instrument for the duration of the course. A large number of historical bows will also be made available. The list of viols you will see in Duino is here: http://www.orpheon.org/OldSite/Seiten/Abra/Violadagamba.htm http://www.orpheon.org/OldSite/Seiten/Abra/Vdgd.htm http://www.orpheon.org/OldSite/Seiten/Abra/Vdgt.htm http://www.orpheon.org/OldSite/Seiten/Abra/Vdgb.htm The violins, violas and cellos may be seen here: http://www.orpheon.org/OldSite/Seiten/Abra/Violins.htm We wish to make this an exceptional "Princely Pastime" which you will not forget.
