In exile with Beethoven: Leo and Els Schrade
Roundtable
- Patrick Bormann, Historiker
- Beate Angelika Kraus, Musikwissenschaftlerin
- Christine Siegert, Musikwissenschaftlerin
The musicologist Leo Schrade had to flee Bonn with his Jewish wife Els and his daughter in 1938. In exile in the USA, he wrote the standard work "Beethoven in France". In this roundtable, experts will explore the couple's biographies and ask about Schrade's significance for international musicology, especially for Beethoven research around the middle of the 20th century.
