Performing music in period costume by Hortense Fourrier

Specialists in historical performance have paid little attention to the role of the body in instrumental practice. This film presents work done as part of the Bachelor's degree opening module offered to students at the Haute école de musique de Genève. Hortense Fourrier, a violist, experimented with the performance of Vieuxtemps's Élégie in period costume and presents the results of her study in this film.
