First Summer School of Musicology
The Department of Musicology at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and the Academy of Sciences, Humanities and Literature, Mainz, are inviting students to a summer school in August. The topic will be complete musical editions.
Contributors to the Gluck and Hindemith Complete Editions and to Opera - Spectrum of European music theater in individual editions will each lead a larger block of courses. Practical work will teach the application of philological knowledge and techniques.
Another block, which is supported by the Mainz research focus on dramatic music, explores the extent to which philology also has to deal with phenomena of performance and the concrete performance situation.
The one-week event will take place from August 11 to 16 on the Mainz campus and in the rooms of the Mainz Academy and will be confirmed and evaluated according to the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS). It is aimed at musicology students in Germany and abroad.
