With the present year drawing to a close, our current Special<\/a> celebrates 60 years of folk music research and ethnomusicology at the mdw. What began as an academic interest in European folk music has developed over the decades to now embody a wide-ranging, internationally networked research field. A developmental milestone in this regard was the establishment of the German-speaking region\u2019s first master\u2019s degree programme in ethnomusicology in 2019 along with the subsequent founding of the mdw\u2019s Music and Minorities Research Center (MMRC) by Wittgenstein Award-winner Ursula Hemetek. In all this, the mdw took a determined stand in support of cultural diversity as lived practice in a university setting.<\/p>\n

The 2026 edition of the Vienna Days of Contemporary Piano Music<\/a> will be placing a focus on the French composer Tristan Murail. Women composers are becoming more visible in piano teaching thanks to the ongoing project \u201cgeh\u00f6rt gespielt<\/a>\u201d of the Ludwig van Beethoven Department of Piano in Music Education, which is aiming to establish a more diverse repertoire in instrumental instruction. Students of the Max Reinhardt Seminar enthralled audiences this past summer with a musical promenade theatre production<\/a> based on Shakespeare\u2019s sonnets. And the Department of Music Education Research and Practice<\/a> has set out to show quite impressively just how important academic research concerning music education is: in upcoming issues, we\u2019ll be providing closer looks at selected research projects in this area.<\/p>\n
