From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I am a musician. I play and teach the cello, especially in its various historical forms, and the viola da gamba. I am also a musicologist with special interests in performance practice, Beethoven, 17th-century English theater music, late and post Soviet music. I have written on a variety of musical topics and am currently working on a history of the cello and cello playing.

My other interests include German literature, French literature, OuLiPo, linguistics, architecture, European history, history of science, tea, cooking.
