Spring leaves its blue ribbon

Spring: that is departure, promise, desire. The program "Frühling lässt sein blaues Band" does not focus on the beguiling nature, but rather on the first love, the first disappointment.

The pieces by Isaac, Wolf and Distler all revolve around the figure of the girl. Love appears in them as hope, which is always overshadowed by disappointment. From Nimmersatten Liebe to Das verlassene Mägdelein and Lebewohl.

Ludwig van Beethoven's Spring Sonata provides an ironic counterpoint. In it, the bourgeois chamber music seems like a cheerful exclamation: Spring! A call that quickly fades away. The result is an evening about spring as a projection: onto the innocent, the immaculate, nothing more than a crush. Is spring ultimately just a male fantasy?
