The Music
THe music of "ESCAPEMENT"
The story of Nannette Stein Streicher (pictured at left, with her father) is bound up with the story of 18th-century musical life in the German-speaking world. Mozart and Beethoven are characters, as are Rosetti, Sterkel, von Beecke, and other less familiar composers who still wrote some great music. Click through to hear musical excerpts -- some performed on actual instruments from the Stein workshop.
