Alison Ludecke Masterclass

Alison Ludecke gave a brilliant and interesting masterclass focusing on Baroque organ playing style to six musicians willing to have their playing criticized in public! The students were all very well prepared, and it was fascinating to watch how their technique and interpretation flourished under Alison’s gentle but insightful tutelage.

The performers and the pieces they offered were

Wolfgang Roethig: Praeludium in D minor - Buxtehude BuxWV 140

Rebecca Kamas: Prelude in G Major from Eight Little Preludes and Fugues - J. S. Bach

Yining (Evelyn) Hong: Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme BWV 645 - J. S. Bach

Ethan Williams: Herlizch lieb hab ich dich - Johann Ludwig Krebs KrebsWV 527

Clara Chan: Prelude, Fuga and Ciacona in C - Buxtehude BuxWV 137

Water Mitby: Toccata and Fugue in D minor, “Dorian" BWV 538 - J. S. Bach

As a postlude, Walter Mitby played Final, from 3rd Symphony - Vierne

Many thanks to all the students who took part, and to Presbyterian Church of Los Gatos for graciously hosting the event.
