She performed first in Dresden and Leipzig, sharing the bill with the violinist Joseph Joachim. At some point during their stay in Dresden, the two artists were treated to a performance by Johann Gottlob Schneider on the sumptuous Silbermann organ at the court church, the same instrument on which Schneider had often played for Robert Schumann.

Bachfest der Stadt Leipzig sein zu dürfen. Das Jahr 2019 ist auch für mein Land ein besonderes: Rumänien hat bis zum 30. Juni die Ratspräsi­ dentschaft der Europäischen Union inne. Auf vielfältige Weise möchten wir während dieser Zeit auch kulturell Akzente setzen und uns mit anderen Kulturregionen Europas vernetzen. Beziehungen zwischen Rumänien, Bach und Leipzig gibt es viele. Schon zur Zeit Johann Sebastian Bachs studierten nicht wenige Siebenbürger Sachsen in Leipzig, und es kann gut sein, dass der eine oder andere den Grundstein für die große Bach­Begeisterung legte, wie sie heute überall in Rumänien zu erleben ist. Sie hängt sicherlich auch mit der innigen Beziehung zusammen, die George Enescu (1881–1955), unser großer Nationalkomponist, zu Bach hatte. Enescu war ein begnadeter Geiger, und Bachs sechs Sonaten und Partiten für Solovioline studierte und spielte er ein Leben lang.
