In the time of Bach, Germany did not yet exist. There were principalities, duchies and free cities, with organs, harpsichords and musicians everywhere. Music was composed in Lübeck, Leipzig, Nuremberg… and Vienna.
This concert begins before Bach, with somewhat forgotten masters that Bach admired so much he walked across the country on foot to hear them. Then comes Bach himself, and finally Vienna, with Mozart and Beethoven. We also discover Marianna Martinez and Maria Theresia von Paradis, two female composers acclaimed in their time then forgotten.
Between pieces, DOm Paulin shares stories of the works and their composers. No musical knowledge is required to enjoy it. The concert lasts one hour.
It is the first instalment of a trilogy dedicated to Germany and Austria, as part of "Terre de musiques", the cycle by the association Et voilà! taking audiences on a journey from country to country.
