My first research project dealt with early modern controversies among music theorists and composers concerning the status of arithmetic and aesthetic categories in evaluating musical progress. My second research project explored the conditions under which composers worked during the French revolutionary period, focussing on Luigi Cherubini's opera dramaturgies, contemporary aesthetics and institutional practices. A new book, which investigates Cherubini's career as a whole, is still in progress. PhD supervision on Musical Culture and Aesthetics in France and Germany around 1800, and on Wagner.
