A difficult week, as I returned to Manchester for the memorial of my friend and to place a plaque in his memory, co-written by his loved ones, in the concert hall that he frequently visited. Now 7 days in Naples for an entirely different kind of co-writing: a text on artistic research for EarlyMuse.

Happy to announce that my book on anti-Americanism and the American pianists who studied in Weimar, Berlin, and Vienna around 1900 is now under contract with @boydellandbrewer.bsky.social . The book should be out in 2026, and is the primary outcome of the big DFG-Project that I worked on in Lübeck.
