Faculty Research Topics
Faculty research interests encompass critical
examination of methodology, contextual and phenomenological
analysis, Schenkerian theory, rhythmic theory, the music of
Brahms, serial analysis, the role of figurative language in
apprehending musical works, gender studies, and comparative
studies in literary theory. The research of the theory
faculty is focused most closely on Western European
repertory from the 18th to the 20th centuries. Members of the
musicology faculty also conduct research in earlier music
and theoretical writings.
Washington University has a strong tradition of
interdisciplinary study and cooperation. Because our
department is small and the program flexible, we are able
to offer the serious student a program tailored to unusual
interests or special needs.
The expertise of several faculty members, combined with
the interests and research of the theory/composition
faculty, enable the Department to offer an especially
strong program of study in 18th-, 19th-, and early
20th-century music. The topics of research include:
