Im Jahr 2002 kam die fast verzweifelte Suche nach Beethovens verschollenem Oboenkonzert zu einem vorläufigen Ende, weil die Forschung an dieser Stelle nicht weiterkam. Jetzt habe ich neue Hinweise auf das autographe Dokument gefunden – und auch auf Mozarts verschollenes Oboenkonzert sowie auf eine unbekannte Oper von Joseph Haydn. Es ist kein Zu…[Read more]

In 2002 the research for Beethoven’s lost oboe concerto came to a temporary end. Now I’ve found new leads to the autograph manuscript – and to Mozart’s lost oboe concerto, too, and to a lost opera of Joseph Haydn.

Humanity’s age-old dilemmas are often set down to what we call human nature. Even the most philosophical shake their heads in despair at this, as an impassible boundary to progress. Though some have denied its existence, studies indicate that we do indeed have a nature, instincts, and patterns of behavior which are endemic to our species. Even…[Read more]

No basta sólo con explicar el surgimiento evolutivo de una “capacidad de lenguaje”, sino que también hay que explicar la evolución del lenguaje en sí, el lenguaje en acto y no en potencia. En suma, no sólo se trata de averiguar si nuestros ancestros hablaban, pues hoy c…[Read more]
