The wind quintet originated in the 18th century and was popular above all for arrangements of well-known melodies. Around 1920, the genre received a boost in popularity and has since been enriched by numerous works by renowned composers of the modern era. The evening spans a wide range of the repertoire and invites you to get to know music for wind instruments in all its diversity. The often classicist character of the works finds a counterpart in Schönberg’s Suite for Piano, op. 25, in which the music of Johann Sebastian Bach reverberates. As Hanns Eisler said about his teacher Schönberg: "He is the true conservative: he even created a revolution in order to be a reactionary."
