Screening of "Frautschi" with Q&A
Wednesday, April 14, 2010 at 7:30pm
Boone Recital Hall, Scripps College
Frautschi is a 49-minute-long documentary video about Moscow’s legendary underground guitar teacher Kamill Arturovich Frautschi, whose impact on Russian guitar pedagogy has been profound, but whose legacy so far remains unrecognized and unstudied. This obscurity is due to no small degree to the fact that Frautschi insisted on keeping his distance from the conservatoires and other official teaching institutions, and taught only privately. Nevertheless, a large number of conservatoire students took regular lessons from him in his private studio and considered him their main musical influence.
Through interviews with students, family documents, home videos, and an audio tape he recorded late in his life, this documentary brings Frautschi's ideas on music teaching and performance to any audience interested in music and art.
