To finally close a chapter, I am posting my article on the Professorinnenprogramm of the German Ministry of Education and Science, dealing with politically intended promotion of women in academic staff. Feedback is much appreciated. Enjoy.
Research
Many Greetings from Moscow
Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory. Am scheduled for tomorrow to present a paper on the orchestral music of Sergey Taneyev and Aleksandr Scriabin in a conference of the Russian Society for Music Theory. Couldn’t be more excited!
For all those interested: the paper will also be presented in a German version during the 15th Annual Conference of the Gesellschaft für Musiktheorie (GMTH), included in a panel dedicated to Taneyev and Scriabin—Saturday, 3 October, 2–4 pm, UdK Berlin, Faculty of Music, Bundesallee 1–12, Carl Flesch hall. Also speaking in that section: Aleksandra Savenkova, Elena Chernova, and Benjamin Vogels.
GMTH Conference Ahead
Busy with scheduling the papers for the 15th Gesellschaft für Musiktheorie (GMTH) conference, taking place in Berlin at the weekend of the 25th anniversary of German Reunification, 1–4 October, 2015. Looking forward!
My Music Education Rant
The final version of my article on the current state of professional music education in Germany is now available here. Shortened versions were previously published by neue musikzeitung and VAN Magazin. Your opinion and feedback is much appreciated!
Paper on Russian Piano Preludes
Struggling heavily to finish a lengthy essay on omni-tonal 24-prelude sets for piano from Soviet Russia, dealing in particular with music by Shostakovich and Kabalevsky. To be published soon on Academia.edu, as well as on my labyrinthian personal website.
