Our author Eva Rieger, professor, musicologist and author, was awarded the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany on April 9. Minister of State for Culture Claudia Roth presented the Federal Cross of Merit to personalities from the cultural sector at the Federal Chancellery. The Order of Merit is the highest award of the Federal Republic of Germany.
As a musicologist, Eva Rieger was one of the first to examine the social and cultural history of women in music culture.
In 1981, Eva Rieger published the groundbreaking study that laid the foundation for the investigation of the inadequate representation of female musicians in music culture. Published by Furore Verlag under the title “Frau, Musik und Männerherrschaft”, this work marked a significant milestone. Since then, Rieger has not only dealt with general studies on music education, but has also focused on gender-specific topics. Her publications range from the role of women in music history to feminist music theory, making her a prominent voice in the field. Her work has made an important contribution to raising awareness of equality for female musicians and drawing attention to the challenges they face.

The award of the Federal Cross of Merit underlines the recognition of her …

Carmen Maria Cârneci: Origami with Blackbirds (2014/16)
Following the pattern of the song of a black bird, the third piece of the Origami cycle was composed as a continuous melody that carries characteristics such as motif and rhythmic inventiveness within the framework of an elastic tempo that allows the player a certain freedom. Made, remade, tied, untied, the many angled and asymmetrical origami-like folds create a constantly reinvented, expository music with a merely tranquil sound driven here and there by dynamic episodes. Particular attention has been paid to timbre/instrumental colors and effects, which in this piece are considered both a feature of contemporary music and a …

Furore Verlag will be present this year with its editions and publications at the Leipzig Book Fair from March 21 to 24, 2024.

You will find us at stand number Hall 4, Stand B404, right next to the Musikcafé.

We warmly welcome you and look forward to welcoming you to our stand!

As the first major industry gathering of the year, the Leipzig Book Fair is regarded as an important source of inspiration for the book market with the presentation of new releases in the spring. Two major anniversaries are celebrated: The Leipzig Book Fair Prize is awarded for the 20th time and the Manga-Comic-Con celebrates its tenth anniversary. This year, the Netherlands and the Belgian region of Flanders are joint guest countries at the Leipzig Book Fair. They presented themselves under the motto “Everything but flat!” Classical readings and lectures are planned, as well as literature with music and installations. German-Dutch-Flemish discussions, exchanges of letters and podcasts are to be given a stage. At the Leipzig Book Fair, visitors can explore the literary offerings of exhibitors from over 40 countries and experience authors live at events. Unlike the Frankfurt Book Fair, for example, the Leipzig Book Fair is a public fair.

On March 21, 2024 at 1 p.m., Furore Verlag cordially invites you to a presentation with music for “Diabelli Recomposed” in the Music Café at the Leipzig Book Fair.
Musicologist and editor Claudia Bigos and music editor Antonia Krödel will present the outstanding volume of sheet music for the “Diabelli Recomposed” project, which has been published by Furore Verlag – “a great success”, according to the nmz.
The volume not only contains a rich collection of piano variations, but also an informative foreword and interesting details about the composers and their works.
The presentation offers a deep insight into this remarkable project and its genesis.
200 years ago, Anton Diabelli asked 50 composers to each write a variation on a waltz theme he had written – not a single female composer was among the composers. To mark the anniversary, musicologist Claudia Bigos came up with the idea for “Diabelli Recomposed”. She asked women composers from around the world to write their own variation on the Diabelli waltz theme in their own style. The impressive sheet music edition has now been published on high-quality paper and in a hardcover by Furore Verlag.
The exclusive sheet music edition is available  under the edition number fue …
