78th Greifswald Bach Week: Symposium "Bach romantically"

Whether Fanny Hensel's Job Cantata, Clara Schumann's fugues on themes by Johann Sebastian Bach or Esther Meynell's Little Chronicle of Anna Magdalena Bach - the Leipzig Thomaskantor and his circle were also an important point of reference for female composers, musicians and music writers of the Romantic period. On the one hand, it is about questions such as "Why do you only ever play the fugue in C sharp?", which Robert Schumann addressed to Clara Schumann in 1835, but also about the setting of fundamental themes such as "What is man?". A panel discussion on Mary's options for action leads directly to the world premiere of Immanuel Ott's Hor ch'è tempo di dormire. Direction: Prof. Dr. Gesa zur Nieden
