The core focus is on applying typical 18th-century figuration techniques specific to the organ, including the essential element of pedal work.

  • Master 18th-century figuration techniques typical for the organ, including integrating the pedal into your improvisations (e.g., in preludes).

Does this sound familiar?

You’ve always wanted to..

Not only play polyphonic music, but also improvise it freely and confidently.

Go beyond standard training and reach a higher level of musical expression.

Truly understand and apply 18th century harmony and counterpoint.

Now Imagine If You Could


See a musical theme and spontaneously improvise a light two- or three-voice fugue on it.

Combine harmony and counterpoint fluently, understanding how they interact to form polyphonic textures.

Improvise short fugues on the spot — little polyphonic improvisations for your own joy — and genuinely enjoy the process.

This Is NOT for You If

You have no background in music theory, harmony, or have never studied or played Baroque music.

You’ve never played a fugue — whether on the organ, piano, or another keyboard instrument.

You’re looking for shortcuts or expect quick results after just a few lessons or days.

You’ve never improvised in classical styles before, or you’re not ready to invest time and patience in a deep learning process.

Self-paced video course to learn fugue improvisation through routine, reflection, and long-term practice.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, this course is designed for students who already have a solid musical foundation. You should have completed the Foundation of Improvisation course or possess a similar level of experience. Participants are expected to have practical experience with improvisation and a strong understanding of music theory.
You should also be familiar with the harmonic models and patterns introduced in the Foundation course. In addition, extensive experience playing 18th-century music on the organ—along with a good knowledge of the repertoire and the instrument’s specific demands—is highly recommended.

The more time you invest, the faster and better you’ll learn—just like with learning a foreign language. If you only practice ten minutes a week, progress will be very slow. The same applies to learning improvisation: the more you dedicate yourself, the greater your improvement will be.
I personally recommend practicing about one hour per day, or at least four one-hour sessions per week. With this commitment, you can expect very good progress and noticeable results over time.
