New cabinet exhibition - virtuoso strings

The world of master violins 

Virtuoso strings

Virtuosos, composer: inside and educator: Inside from the pioneers of the baroque period to the well -known violinists in the mid -20th century, the core of this exhibition forms. The merging of the original grades, lithographs, photos and letters in the exhibition shows a unique insight into the violinist's personalities that still enchant us. 

One of the important content of this exhibition is that the fire from tradition is actively carried into the present.

Private collection Univ.-Prof.

Inspiration from the past brings enthusiasm for today

For the first time, one of the largest private collections of this kind is made visible! The exhibition is visually divided into three priorities in order to show the variety of aspects and the special importance of the violin in music history.

Violin over time 

We present you Geiger composer: inside from the baroque period starting with Geminiani and Corelli; Followed from the Viennese classical music with Wa Mozart to the great virtuosos in the 20th century. We also want to highlight the quality and the value of printed grades from the past.

Everything is somehow related - educational influences and networking 

For a period of 200 years, networking by composer: inside, as well as from educator: inside and their students: inside - the development of the violin schools from Leopold Mozart is also illuminated.
