Music lesson taught in Rollins
By Christopher Q. McMullen-Laird | February 4, 2002"There are no rules, the fantastic style -- where the fantasy is in control," violinst Andrew Manze explained during his performance in Rollins Chapel Friday night. Manze, along with harpsichordist Richard Egarr, played a collection of Italian baroque sonatas for a curious sold-out crowd. The repertoire demanded spontaneous creativity and improvisation -- qualities that most classical musicians lack. The rudimentary notation of the 17th and 18th century publishers invites the performer to embellish and improvise freely.
