Jonathan Kregor

Jonathan Kregor, Assistant Professor, is a musicologist specializing in nineteenth-century music. His research interests include aesthetics, Franz Liszt, musical reproductions, music and memory, virtuosity and gender, and art songs. He has published articles and reviews in The Journal of Musicology, The Musical Quarterly, Nineteenth-Century Music Review, Journal of the American Liszt Society, and Notes; and has given papers on Liszt and Clara Wieck-Schumann at numerous national and international conferences. He is a recipient of fellowships from the German Historical Institute and the Stiftung Weimarer Klassik.

Dr. Kregor is the author of Liszt as Transcriber (Cambridge University Press, 2010), which won the Alan Walker Book Award from the American Liszt Society, and editor of volumes of C.P.E. Bach's keyboard music (Packard Humanities Institute) and a forthcoming edition of Clara Schumann's unpublished arrangements for solo piano (A-R Editions). Other topics in preparation include the use of “early music” in the virtuoso repertoire, Liszt and France, and Stendhal's use of music in his novels. He will become editor of the Journal of the American Liszt Society in 2012.
