GENERAL INFORMATION

The course consists of the practical study of the various aspects of organ improvisation through its different forms and languages: traditional forms such as variation, fugue, passacaglia, elaborations on Gregorian chant themes or chorales, as well as free forms aimed at developing the most creative aspects within contemporary languages. Topics may include improvisation for silent films or more collective modes of improvisation.

The course is therefore intended both for musicians wishing to approach simple forms, for example for liturgical accompaniment, and for more experienced organists who wish to develop their creativity through a wide variety of rhythmic, melodic, harmonic, and sound languages.

For the admission exam candidates must present two free improvisations of approximately 5 minutes each: the first on a tonal theme (Baroque, Classical, or Romantic), respecting the style of the proposed theme; the second on a modern theme in a free style.
