Achberger publishes article in Austrian journal

By David Gonnerman '90
September 19, 2006

An article by Professor of German Karen Achberger has recently appeared in Vienna in the volume Die Saite des Schweigens. Ingeborg Bachmann und die Musik (The String of Silence. Ingeborg Bachmann and Music).

The article, "Transzendenz in der Musik," is based on a paper she delivered in April at an international symposium in Graz, Austria, focusing on music in the works of the writer Ingeborg Bachmann. By uncovering references to three musical works in Bachmann's 1971 novel, Achberger is able to propose a new reading of the work.
