- Norbert Nohe

In the summer of 1987 Norbert Nohe was victim of a serious accident through no fault of his own, as a result of which he remained paralyzed on one side and was dependent on a wheelchair. As a result, he was unable to continue conducting, but remained active as a musician: With his right hand intact, he played the solo parts of violin concertos on the piano, among other things . A colleague, the composer Wolfgang Hofmann , composed a “ Sonatina for piano” for the right hand especially for him in 1994 (Hofmann catalog raisonné No. H94K). As a composer, Nohe himself wrote mainly works for orchestra and chamber music ; In 1990 he wrote his scherzo “Rondo español”.

Norbert Nohe died in February 2017 at the age of 78.
