Simple Variation Techniques from a military band method | Practice Challenge 1 (Potpourri)

Описание: A challenge for me this time! I have been postponing learning this potpourri stuff for too long, so I'm challenging myself to put this in the pressure cooker as next week I have a first presentation. Every day I'm hoping to share some of my work and do a little presentation on this. This is related to my Potpourri research, which you can learn more about here:

This is also related to my first peer-reviewed article in which I have looked at sources that could inspire improvisation based on 19th-century oboe sources. An earlier version without examples will be posted on Patreon when the article comes out.

COURSE - 17th century diminutions / variations
Classical music improvisation is often taught and performed by piano players. Historical sources also often come from keyboardists. Jacob van Eyck is a notable exception, leaving us with more than 150 pieces, most of which were originally improvised and then notated in the 2nd half of the 17th century. His variations are on well-known melodies of the time, leaving us with a documentation of favourite melodies of the time as well.
I put together a course using original 17th century melodies van Eyck used in his publications. Step by step you learn small ornamental ideas, which put together become powerful tools to learn to improvise. Experimenting with the original melodies makes it all the more interesting to see what van Eyck did with them himself! Find out more in this video.
