A joint seminar for six weeks between me and pianist Anchie Donn who played the Goldbergs for her PhD recital. The first week is an introductory session on historical and cultural backgrounds. After that, each week will be a short lecture on some cultural aspect of the variations, followed by a performance of five to six of the variations by Donn, then a conversation between us about how the variations work, how they are mastered, and how the challenge the very notion of keyboard music.
