Unknown Classical Masterpieces from the Ballhorn Collection Christmas songs parodies and arrangements for piano two or four hands | i |
The name of this fictional collection is derived from the word "Verballhornung" = corruption or = "get wrong" and traces back to the book printer Johann Balhorn in Lübeck (1528-1603). Balhorn had printed a revised version of the Lübeck town law in 1586, in which he inserted unauthorized changes. As many other cities conform to the law of Lübeck, the new edition was the cause of many disputes. On the other hand, many changes probably were not due to Balhorn, but the Council had "overlooked and corrected" again the legal rights of Lübeck.
"Verballhornung" once stood for coarse and paraphrased text mutilation, today it is known as rather humorous twists and associative alienation.
With the present Ballhorn Collection the common parlance of "Verballhornung" a Christmas-musical version is added. "Victims" are both cited composers and their works as well as the pushed Christmas Carols.
