Practice tips on discovering a new composer; Carl Lafite – Lynkeu’s Lied. Nathalie’s Vlog #46

On May 11, 2023 I have the privilege together with mezzo-soprano Althea Wetter to let people (re)discover Carl Lafite in Vienna. He was a Viennese composer-conductor-organist, lived from 1872 to 1944, and his music hasn’t been heard in the last 50+ years.
Since some of you indicated that they like the practice tips videos, I thought it would be the perfect time to introduce this composer to you as well as give you some ideas on how to approach new music, how to support a singer well, and how to practice a similar piece. Hope you enjoy!
