J. S. Bach takes center stage
The content on this page was translated automatically.
The parallel transmission of North German and French organ and keyboard music in Central German sources around 1700 is one of the fascinating intertwining phenomena of 17th and 18th century instrumental music. Just four years after Johann Sebastian Bach's death, both organ traditions are mentioned in the same breath in his necrology ("In the art of organ playing, he took Bruhnsen's, Reinken's, Buxtehude's and some good French organists' works as models"). The repertoire histories delineated here - from northern Germany and from Paris - function explicitly as inspiration for the compositional work and must therefore also be considered in their interactions.
Three manuscripts from the estate of Bach's pupil Johann Ludwig Krebs, which were created in Weimar, have not yet revealed their secrets.
The conference brings together scholars and artists to open up new research and interpretation perspectives on this corpus of sources.
With scholarly, artistic and artistic-scholarly contributions from
