Solfège

Liszt Ferenc Zenemuveszeti Egyetem
The goal of the subject is to acquire the elements of music (rhythm, melody, harmony) in practice and the development of musical skills (notation by listening, memory, intonation, inner hearing, transposition, singing with own piano accompaniment, chamber singing). The styles processed during the semesters: early and late renaissance (Lassus, Palestrina); early baroque (Schütz); J. S. Bach; classical period; 19th century (primarily Schubert, Verdi, Wagner, Liszt and Brahms); 20th century (primarily Bartók, Kodály, Messiaen and Ligeti). The above mentioned examples may change following the instrumental specification and/or the general abilities of the group.
ability to distinguish the different triads and simpler seventh-chords (and their inversions) by listening; write down a Baroque imitative polyphonic excerpt; sight-singing of the vocal part of a German romantic song
The students are familiar with European music styles and genres, and they are aware of the theoretical (harmonic and formal) background. They have advanced inner hearing, and they are also able to correctly interpret the complex musical texture (melodic, rhythmic, harmonic elements). They have suitable singing skills, they are able to sing and play the parts of the piece with their own piano accompaniment. Their practiced musical memory and transposition skills make them capable for performing their everyday tasks in the performing arts. They are familiar with the musical terminology and they interpret the instructions for performance correctly.

Be a part of our european project !

This European project (KA 203 Strategic Partnership) created by Salvatore Gioveni promotes cross-border collaboration in the field of Music Theory through sharing knowledge and transferring pedagogical innovation. It thus responds to a lack of centralised source and framework to deepen reflection by means of cross-disciplinary study at European and international level.

There is a significant wealth of educational practices from one country to another in this sector, especially in terms of harmonic musical notation and analysis. However, HMEI's are facing the nonexistence of a European network for pedagogical staff in Music Theory so far. To improve the situation, the project will among other things develop several intellectual outputs such as Online Platform (IO 1), an EU Bibliography (IO 2), a Repository Courses (IO 3), a Multilingual Glossary (IO 4) and an Exchange Online Learning Platform.

Besides the Conservatoire royal de Bruxelles as leader and manager of the project, the following partner institutions are involved: Music Academy S. Moniuszki Gdańsk (Gdańsk, Poland), F. Liszt Academy of Music Budapest (Budapest, Hungary), Estonian Academy for Music and Theatre (Tallinn, Estonia), HfMTh "Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy" (Leipzig, Germany).
