Diary in music (1935-1949)
Robert Kahns "Diary in music" (Tagebuch in Tönen) composed between 1935 and 1949 is actually completetly undiscoverd. Even the few existing manuscripts have not been cataloged at all. Based on privat copies Klassik-resampled makes this music during the next years in a longterm project completely searchable, audible and playable for the very first time. The current selection presented here cover only a small part of the existing 1160 (1168) Pieces and provide only the very first, non representative preview of this large project. The following slides give a first very rough short overview of some facts and ideas about this music. (Linked (blue) Items open recordings of the mentioned pieces in another Window or Tab.)
(Many thanks to Bechstein-digital who provided their excellent Sampleversion of an extraoridnairy Bechstein-Grandpiano and allowed me with it to come near to the sound of the Bechstein-Grandpiano on which Robert Kahn composed this Diary in music during the years of emigration)
