Music Theory
The projects in the field of research of music theory focus on questions of historically informed music theory and participate in the international research discourse within the discipline.
The focus is on the period of the late 18th and 19th centuries, and methodological and didactic aspects play a central role. By examining questions of the institutionalisation and development of music theory subjects within the 19th century, references to the current role and function of the subject are revealed. The results can be applied to current teaching practice and open up general questions of music education. By analysing documentary sources from different European countries, topics of cultural transfer are addressed. Existing national differences in music theory are relativised through such an orientation towards historical models.
