The first meeting took place in January and was devoted to first symphonies, their structure and its development from the time of Baroque to the beginnings of Romanticism.
Then, in April the participants were introduced to the lives and works of Robert Schumann and Felix Mendelsson. Apart from their music we also listened to the pieces composed by Clara Schumann (Robert’s wife) and Fanny Mendelssohn (Felix’s sister).
Finally, we took a look at the symphonies composed by Johannes Brahms.
