    I hear what you don't hear! Perfect Pitch and Memory for Music
    Prof. Dr. Kathrin Schlemmer (Eichstätt)
    A top-tier pianist can memorize more than 300,000 notes. That corresponds to approximately all notes in all Beethoven Piano Sonatas. Humans are able to sing pieces of music in the correct key without any musical training How are such feats possible? What cognitive processes are behind it? Music Psychology has dedicated itself to this question since the late 19th century and investigates the remarkable phenomena of musical memory and perfect pitch with empirical methods. In her lecture, Prof. Dr. Kathrin Schlemmer (Catholic University of Eichstätt) gives insights to the questions, methods, and results of current research.
  • January 11th, 7:00pm, Room 153 
    Performance Anxiety – a phenomenon between addiction and suffering
    PD Dr. Manfred Nusseck (Freiburg) 
    Cold hands, shaking knees, mumbling stomach, sweating – "Stage Fright" can be experienced by any musician, in an orchestra pit or on the stage. The cognitive mechanism behind these symptoms are evolutionary, but in the  performance of music in a concert hall are rather undesired. Nevertheless a certain amount of stress is helpful, in order to concentrate on performing well. But at what point is this hindering or even burdensome? What possibilities are there to counteract this? Music Psychology has researched such questions intensely for some years now, in order to decode the phenomenon and formulate tips to prevent it. In his lecture, PD Dr. Manfred Nusseck (Freiburger Institut für Musikermedizin, Hochschule für Musik Freiburg) offers insights into the methods and results of current research.
