Around 1800, Vienna was the center of wind ensemble music, boasting a multitude of professional ensembles and an enormous output of repertoire. For students of the Early Music Institute, working on this repertoire on original instruments or their replicas is second nature; for those of the Wind Instruments Institute (clarinet, horn), it's an adventure that offers a fresh perspective on the world of historically informed performance practice, as the "old" instruments ultimately open up a new sonic world.

Clara Schumann's Flower Album serves as the starting point for this evening. She collected dried flowers in this booklet, which she later presented to Johannes Brahms. The program revolves around the themes of love, friendship, and nature as a resonant space for emotions. Students from the mdw's Max Reinhardt Seminar will read texts by Heinrich Heine, Joseph von Eichendorff, and other Romantic poets.
