- Moonlighting brings a range of musically-inflected works of modernist literature into dialogue with the full span of nineteenth- and twentieth-century musicology. This interdisciplinary approach necessitated six years of exploratory reading in a substantial body of Beethoven-focused materials—including biographies, works of cultural history, reminiscences, polemics, magazines and journals, and miscellaneous works of musico-historical criticism—outside of the already sizeable quantity of modernist literature and sculpture that was investigated during the research process. The resulting 130,000-word book intervened in two distinct areas of cultural-historical debate (modernist studies and Beethovenian musicology), while seeking to establish a new line of inquiry within modernist musico-literary scholarship.
