The next Encounters with Eighteenth-Century Music is later this week. “The New Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis (BWV3): Principal features, background, and outlook” will take place on Thursday, Nov. 3, 2022 from 2:00 pm EDT – 3:30 pm EDT.
In June 2022 three senior scholars of the Leipzig Bach Archive — Christine Blanken, Christoph Wolff, and Peter Wollny — presented a new, thoroughly revised edition of the Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis. Over a period of 12 years, they reviewed every work attributed to Bach and aimed at incorporating the current state of scholarship. In our session the three authors will discuss the principal features of the new work catalogue, talk about its background, and offer some thoughts about future perspectives. Click here to register.
