“How can a performer use the historical evidence on doubles in compositions from the baroque period as a source of inspiration for creating new original doubles, and how can they be incorporated into a performance nowadays?"
Research Subquestions
“Is there a difference between a double and a variation? What are the differences between the diminution/division technique, the ornamentation technique and the double making?”
“How were doubles originally intended to be performed? To what extent a performer can bring his/her own voice into the composition by creating original doubles for it, so the result remains within the borders of the style, the good taste and the Historically Informed Performance?“
“Are there differences in the style of double making in regard to specific instruments? Do doubles for flute (traverso) have a specific, unique voice?”
