Mar. 6th, 2005 09:05 pmso, the dictation part of my interview with professor C was her playing the bass and soprano parts of a bach chorale (ein feste burg) on the piano and me furiously and quite sloppily transcribing them. this was easier than i anticipated because a.) i figured it would be all the parts at once and i'd have to pick them out and b.) she repeated small sections over and over until i had them so exactly that i could sing them back to her from my paper. and then she told me to take home what i have and write out the other parts as bach would have (haha, right).
counterpoint! part-writing! i cannot tell you how geekishly excited i am about this. i love part-writing like nobody should. it was my favorite part of music theory classes. it's where i see my mother in me - she loves logic puzzles and part-writing is not much more than a musical logic puzzle. i'm going to get started on it tomorrow and i can hardly wait.
i am such a nerd.
