Research Overview
I specialize in music from the Classical period, with a particular emphasis on W.A. Mozart. I focus on issues of Mozart's compositional process and the performance practice and contemporary reception of his works by studying the original manuscripts. My research interests also include court orchestras, theaters, public concerts, and music publishing in Vienna and Salzburg in the 18th century.
