45th International Viola Congress 2018

This lecture  could be subtitled: ways to find a deeper artistic understanding of the music to be performed, by means of psychological theories, methods and notions. Because there is such a great amount to tell about this subject, it will generally be done here with a bird’s-eye view. You will learn about a few useful theories that were developed by psychologists; besides this you will hear about emotional, physical and cognitive changes while playing and also about exploring compositions in (more) psychological
ways.
