What it is

The harpsichord is studied for seven semesters, with a secondary instrument (piano or organ), chamber ensemble, the structure and tuning of the harpsichord, basso continuo and figured bass. Supporting subjects include ear training, harmony, polyphony and musical analysis, the history of harpsichord art, music history alternatives and the history of Lithuanian music and culture, with philosophy and aesthetics. Professional practice leads to a chamber ensemble art project and a defended final art project.
