ÖGMW welcomes Bernese researchers
The Bern University of the Arts will be prominently represented at this year's annual conference of the Austrian Society for Musicology (ÖGMW) from November 18 to 21 at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz.
At its annual conference, which this time takes place at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz, the Austrian Society for Musicology brings together academics from leading international universities. The focus is on musical performance. The conference will not least explore the question of how practice-oriented intuitive knowledge and analytically sound musicological knowledge can work together fruitfully.
The main lectures will be given by Kai Köpp (Bern University of the Arts, "Musikgeschichte als Interpretationsgeschichte - neue Quellen, neue
Challenges"), Joshua Rifkin (Boston University), John Rink (University of Cambridge), Renee Timmers (University of Sheffield) and Sarah Weiss (YaleNUSCollege Singapore).
Further presentations by Bernese researchers: Johannes Gebauer will be giving a lecture on editions of Pierre Rode's 24 Caprices for violin, and Sebastian Bausch will be analyzing the interpretation of Josef Pembaur's Beethoven recordings.
The conference will also feature two world premieres and the presentation of a reconstruction of a historical trumpet automaton.
