Tübinger Hammerklavier-Tage I: Pre-Opening Symposium on the Fortepiano
Friday, 27 March 2026 · 18:00 · Pfleghofsaal, Tübingen
The first Tübinger Hammerklavier-Tage: a two-day pre-opening symposium on the fortepiano, held as a prelude to the exhibition The Pianoforte Age at the Musicology Institute of the University of Tübingen, curated by Anders Muskens. Through lecture-recitals and live performance on restored original instruments from Anders Muskens’s own collection and from the University of Tübingen, it explored the many pianistic cultures of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries before the modern piano came to dominate them.
