Some of the aspects to be worked on are: regulating the way scores are being read (numeration of bars, etc.) translating technical expressions harmonizing different editions of the same work establishing a signal-system with the soloist (giving entry, etc.) taking care of the pronunciation and tempo helping in memorizing problems.

The transition from an instrumental soloist to an accompanist requires thus a careful preparation from both student and professor. This master education doesn't have a previous bachelor programme. As the profession itself is a synonym for cooperation, so is the life of the Department defined by intensive co-work with students from the Departments for Singing, Classical Instruments and Conducting. Still, the need for good coaching and accompanying of singers and musicians never vanished, which led to the founding of the Department for Repetiteurs and Piano Accompanists. Long gone are the times when a composer conducted the orchestra playing the harpsichord, when he was at the same time coaching and accompanying soloists. In jazz and popular music, the backing band or rhythm section may improvise the accompaniment based on standard forms, as in the case of a small blues band or a jazz band playing a 12-bar blues progression, or the band may play from a written arrangement in a jazz big band or in a musical theater show.The task of a repetiteur and of a piano accompanist is one of the most complex and far-reaching areas of musical activity. In most Classical styles, the accompaniment part is written by the composer and provided to the performers in the form of sheet music. The term accompaniment also describes the composed music, arrangement, or improvised performance that is played to back up the soloist. It may be considered the background to the foreground melody. The accompaniment can be performed by a single performer-a pianist, organist, or guitarist-or it can be played by an entire ensemble, such as a symphony orchestra or string quartet, a backing band or rhythm section, or even a big band or organ trio.
Accompaniment In music, accompaniment is the art of playing along with an instrumental or vocal soloist or ensemble, often known as the lead, in a supporting manner.
