De Musica Disserenda (Jun 2015)
Austrian musicology after World War II
Abstract
Whereas postwar musicology in Austria was largely dominated by one figure, Erich Schenk, the present situation is quite different: besides musicological institutes at the four traditional universities and the Austrian Academy of Sciences, a number of other institutions have been established, especially within the framework of the University of Music and Performing Arts, as well as of private societies and foundations, all introducing a rich variety of research projects. Nevertheless, there is still some focus on the history of music in Austria with a growing awareness of the problems a national history of music brings along.
