Musicology staff conduct research in a wide range of areas including medieval chant and notation, rhetoric and 18th-century performance practice, Beethoven sketch studies and very recent musical compositional activity including the late works of Stockhausen and the work of other contemporary composers. Our research demonstrates a range of interests and approaches including compositional process, musical analysis, sketch studies, manuscript studies, notation studies, and performance practice.
