At some point, the last day comes and it's time to say goodbye. This is also the case with the wonderful exhibition "The fascination of form. Sculpture, Plastic, Drawing" by the artist Mechthild Ehmann. This special exhibition of her unique sculptures made of glass, her expressive bronze sculptures and the realistic nude drawings attracted many visitors from all over the south. Larissa Richter, pianist and composer from Munich, took up this diversity of art in a unique concert evening to which she invited her music colleague Dorothee Binding, professor of flute.
Together they revealed to the audience the beauty and the changes already apparent in music towards the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century. With the choice of seven composers from Paris, the pieces by Paul Taffanel, Claude Debussy, Camille Saint-Saens, Gabriel Faure, Philippe Gaubert, Benjamin Godard and François Borne represented the tremendous upheaval in both art and music. They were all contemporary witnesses of the change in the visual arts, the move away from the depiction of the real world towards abstraction and reduction. The finely selected pieces allowed piano and flute to enter into a melodious symbiosis that transported the Stadtstadel and the audience back to Paris at the turn of the century. L'art et la France - par excellence.
