Music Professor Invited Presenter for the Third International Conference on Musical Improvisation in Venice, Italy
Prof. Catherine Coppola has been asked to write a paper and perform examples at the piano with her duo partner, Lucy Morganstern, on the genres of preludio and capriccio for violin in the time of Beethoven, with focus on the role played by compositional elements that are referable to improvisation in the structure of the written pieces. The conference will take place in November 2014, sponsored by the Insituto per la Musica-Fondazione "Giorgio Cini" in Venice.
