The practical exam (audition)
For the practical exam we ask you to prepare:
Two pieces or movements with piano accompaniment. For instance:
- H. Dutilleux - Choral, Cadence et Fugato
- F. Martin - Ballade
- J.G. Ropartz - Pièce en mi bémol mineur
- J. Castérède - Sonatina (first movement)
- E. Ewazen - Sonata (first movement)
- D. Schnyder - Sonata (first movement)
- J.G. Albrechtsberger - Concerto (first movement)
- N. Rota - Concerto (first movement)
- H. Tomasi - Concerto (first movement)
Works of comparable or higher level are also acceptable.
You might also be asked to participate in a short sight reading test.
The evaluation of the practical part of the entrance exam will be weighed by the following factors:
- musical expression
- technical realisation
- potential
- previous musical education
The combination of these factors is also of essential importance. By and large, candidates should no longer suffer from any instrumental or technical impediments.
Master Project Plan
Before you start the master you must hand in a Master Project Plan. In your Master Project Plan you present your plans for the design of your master's programme and your Master Project in which your artistic development, research and entrepreneurship play an important role.
See the Master Project Plan Guidelines document at the end of the page.
