'Duo Teaching' in String Classes of Paris and Milan’s Conservatories in the Early 19th Century: Topics for a Review of Current Teaching Practices (original) (raw)

Abstract

The String Duo, amongst the more widespread early nineteenth-century teaching tools, called for the direct interaction of teacher and pupil. A composition for two instruments of the same kind, it was specifically composed and tailored by the teacher on the needs and technical skills of the pupil. As such, the pupil was made to play music at his own level, while at the same time experiencing the higher degree of musical and technical accomplishment of the teacher. The technical training necessary for the pupil’s growth was thus well situated in a music-making dimension and not relegated to an abstract, separated preparatory practice.
