We welcome papers and themed session on any relevant topic, from performing and recording early music in the twenty-first century, to madrigal studies, sources studies, analytical studies, medieval and renaissance music in Basel, to mention only a few. For a long time, historically informed performance, organology as well as forms of visualisation of music (notation, iconography) are the common fields of research of the two organising institutions. Within recent time and with the help of modern technologies or the connection with NCCR “eikones”, new cooperations could be made and focus on new emphases set. In view of these research focuses we, as a committee, welcome such topics in particular. We feel them as important topics for our research fields, but they are not intended as conference themes in any restrictive way and we would like to stress of course, that all themes and topics will be considered with equal interest.
