"Beethovens Werkstatt. Genetische Textkritik und Digitale Musikedition” is the title of a musicological basic research project, which is funded by the Akademie der Wissenschaften und der Literatur in Mainz and carried out by the Beethoven-Haus Bonn and Paderborn University (Musikwissenschaftliches Seminar in Detmold/Paderborn). Bernhard R. Appel and Joachim Veit lead the project, which started in 2014 and will run until 2030. The project focuses on the investigation of Beethoven’s composing processes from different angles via digital tools and the development of a user interface where the results are represented. This is based on the encoding models of the Music Encoding Initiative (MEI) which will allow a transfer of the developed tools to other composers.
