Appenzell Bach Days: The search for the "Bach formula"

About this place

The artistic director of the J. S. Bach Foundation St. Gallen, Rudolf Lutz, together with Dr. Anselm Hartinger, will present the first academy of our Bach Days. Beyond an inexplicable "master aura", the aim is to uncover the pioneering techniques and "unique selling points" of Bach's composing as early as the 18th century. Along the creative areas named in the first Bach biography by Johann Nikolaus Forkel in 1802, the academy, with the involvement of the audience and in an entertaining and instructive manner, will focus on individual areas of Bach's composing, from chorale treatment to counterpoint, in an attempt to come closer to the artistic decisions of the Thomaskantor.
