During the 2026/27 winter semester, the public lecture series organised by the Musicology Seminar Detmold/Paderborn will focus on the works and creative processes of Ludwig van Beethoven. To mark the conclusion of the series on Wednesday 27 January, the team behind the “Beethoven’s Workshop” project will present the first digital edition of a sketchbook. The event will take place from 6.15 pm to 7.45 pm in the Kuppelsaal at the Detmold University of Music and is open to all interested parties. Admission is free; no registration is required.
The lecture series is organised by the academy project‘Beethoven’s Workshop: Genetic Textual Criticism and Digital Music Edition’, which is based at the Musicology Seminar Detmold/Paderborn and the Beethoven-Haus in Bonn. The team comprises Dr Susanne Cox, Maximilian Greshake, Lisa Rosendahl, Prof. Dr Johannes Kepper, Kristin Herold, Richard Sänger and Sophie Stremel. The lectures will not only explore the composer’s creative thought as revealed in Beethoven’s manuscripts, but will also consider the context for subsequent scholarly engagement with his work. This will be achieved, for example, through insights into the history of Beethoven collections and research into his sketches.
Further information on the lecture series, as well as an overview of upcoming dates, can be found on the event page.
