Margaret Notley,

Assistant Professor of Musicology

Margaret Notley received an undergraduate degree from Barnard College (magna cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa in junior year) and a doctorate from Yale University.  Her articles—on Brahms, Schubert, Bruckner, musical life in turn-of-the-century Vienna, topics in the intellectual history of music, and compositional reception of Beethoven in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries—have appeared in The Journal of the American Musicological Society, 19th-Century Music, and a number of anthologies.  For the article “Late-Nineteenth-Century Chamber Music and the Cult of the Classical Adagio” which appeared in 19th-Century Music, she received the American Musicological Society’s Alfred Einstein Award in 2000.  She is the Editor of the American Brahms Society Newsletter, a member of both the AMS’s Council and its Committee on the Status of Women, and an incoming member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Musicology.  She is currently focused on finishing a book, “Late Style” in Brahms’s Chamber Music: Music and Culture in the Twilight of Viennese Liberalism (Yale University Press), a project for which she has been awarded grants by the Fulbright Scholar Program, National Endowment for the Humanities, American Council of Learned Societies, and American Philosophical Society.  Her other research interests include the music of Stravinsky and the phenomenon of twentieth-century neoclassicism.
