3: Oderwald to Wolfenbuttel
Horatio Clare's third 'slow-radio' walk in the footsteps of Bach's 1705 journey to Lubeck sees him wander among the beeches of the Oderwald on his way to the town of Wolfenbuttel.
In 1705 the 20-year-old Johann Sebastian Bach set off from his home in Arnstadt to walk 250 miles to L眉beck, there to meet his hero, the composer and organist Dietrich Buxtehude. In the third of five 'slow-radio' walks in which writer Horatio Clare searches for his footsteps - and his ghost - the route takes him through the beeches of the Oderwald and on into the town of Wolfenbuttel.
