"Anno 1811 is the only music society to meet" noted a musician from the Rorschach brass band in his music book. Two hundred years ago, harmonies were formed in many places, usually with many "Turkish" percussion instruments. The Klingendes Museum Bern has preserved 20 original instruments and 49 music books of such early 19th century wind music. This collection is a uniquely complex source documenting the beginnings and initial developments of wind music culture in Switzerland, as it is still practiced today. The special exhibition "Anno 1811" conveys this in sound: in addition to the original instruments and sheet music, videos of a re-enactment of this music and documents from the period.
