Interpretacja działań twórczych w improwizacji organowej - z badań własnych

Abstract

Teaching organ improvisation remains tightly connected with a widely-understood musical education. Improvisation is a discipline combining the phenomena of the theory of music, history, stylistics, as well as an instrumental an interpretation technique. It constitutes an important component of the musical development of organists for whom this type of music activity is still up-to-date in a didactic process. When working on the development of organists’ improvising abilities what is a priority is form discipline, shaping the abilities to use a varied texture, harmonious awareness of the courses, melodic factor, rhythmicity, and playing technique with articulation. The process of teaching organ improvisation starts from teaching melody composition. Further work concerns getting to know duet systems and mastery of playing with the use of two manuals and the pedal keyboard. At the same time, in the course of exercises, the students deal with tasks within the scope of different stylistics: the Baroque, Romantic and 20th century one. An important factor is work on the development the apparatus of playing as well as students’ musicality and sensitivity to particular elements of a music work. Methodology of teaching organ improvisation is tightly connected with individualization of actions. Working with a student takes into account features of his/her music personality, style preferences or musical language in each case.
