Free concert: A piano journey from Bach to Beethoven
A piano concert narrated by DOm Paulin, tracing the thread of German and Austrian music, from the masters admired by Bach to Vienna.
Studio l'Accord Parfait (Paris 18th)
About
In Bach's time, Germany did not yet exist. It was a land of principalities, duchies, and free cities, filled with organs, harpsichords, and musicians. Music was composed in Lübeck, Leipzig, Nuremberg… and Vienna.
This concert begins before Bach, with masters now somewhat forgotten, whom Bach admired so much that he traveled across the country on foot to hear them. Then comes Bach himself, and finally Vienna, with Mozart and Beethoven. We will also discover Marianna Martinez and Maria Theresia von Paradis, two composers who were celebrated in their time and then forgotten.
Between pieces, DOm Paulin tells the stories of the works and their composers. No musical knowledge is required to enjoy it. The concert lasts one hour.
This is the first part of a trilogy dedicated to Germany and Austria, as part of "Terre de musiques," the cycle by the association Et voilà! which takes the audience on a journey from country to country.
