Dr. Bernhard Schmitt
Christoph Graupner's cantata texts were published by the Darmstadt court prior to the performance, but most of these cantata "year books" were destroyed in 1944.
Dr. Schmitt is currently transcribing the cantata texts, working with several music editors and providing his expertise on 18th century German handwriting, which is very difficult to read, even for native German speakers.
Several projects are only possible because of Dr. Schmitt's efforts. Please accept our gratitude for all your hard work Dr. Schmitt!! |
