The Viennese Style: Conducting, Teaching and Orchestrating the Music of Johann Strauss

Clinic Synopsis:

Johann Strauss' music is timeless, and its popularity endures even today, whether through the success of Andre Rieu or the Vienna Philharmonic. Yet musicians around the globe interpret this Viennese style differently, even within Austria, the country of its origin. And though the style of the music may be light, a proper interpretation entails more than you might think. This clinic will cover several ways to approach this fascinating musical style and how to translate these to your band. (No Handout Available)
