From the field
Forschungsstelle Gustav Mahler gegründet
Gustav Mahler hat der Musikwelt ein umfangreiches Werk hinterlassen, das Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler bis heute fasziniert. Der Komponist reiste immer wieder nach Toblach, im Südtiroler Pustertal, wo er seine drei letzten großen Werke komponierte. Zur Würdigung und weiteren Erforschung seines Schaffens wird in Toblach die Forschungsstelle Gustav Mahler gegründet.
Himmlische Höhen
Auf Bergen wie dem Fujiyama, Kailash, Olymp, Sinai, Athos oder dem Mont Saint Michel verorten Menschen unterschiedlicher Länder, Religionen und Kulturen Heiliges. Noch irdisch aber dem Himmel zugewandt übt die Mächtigkeit der Berge schon seit jeher eine große Faszination aus.
Zwischen den Notenlinien
Von Musik im Mittelalter über klassische Musik bis hin zur modernen Popmusik haben Komponistinnen und Komponisten ihre Ideen in vielfältiger Art und Weise verschriftlicht. Die Art der Notation hat sich über die Jahrhunderte mit den Anforderungen und technischen Möglichkeiten gewandelt. Ein internationales Forschungsteam möchte nun eine Theorie der musikalischen Schrift entwickeln.
