Time Signal

 

From the Wurttemberg Sonates to the Grosse Fuge

This is the first episode of our monthly programme Time Signal, that talks about how the life of a composer in a certain time and under certain circumstances resonates in his music.

This episode is dedicated to The Enlightenment: its urge for desire and indivual development that highly influenced Europe in the 17th and 18th century. It also inspired composers and musicians. We will discover more about the Age of Reason, going from works of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach and Joseph Haydn to Ludwig van Beethoven and Franz Schubert.
