Beethoven and the Last Generation of Court Musicians in Germany

Call for Papers

4-7 décembre 2015, Bonn

Beethoven-Haus Bonn
Conference Languages: English and German

Keynote speaker:
Mark Evan Bonds, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill

Based on the results of the Austrian research project “The Operatic Library of Elector Maximilian Franz, 1780-1794,” the Bonn court and its operatic productions form a starting-off point, but we especially welcome proposals with a trans-regional perspective and a wide range of interdisciplinary approaches.

Organizing committee: Birgit Lodes, John Wilson, Elisabeth Reisinger (University of Vienna)
