- As well as contributing a comprehensively researched article on accounts of the Bach-Marchand contest and their implications for national and nationalist conceptions of music history from the eighteenth century onwards (‘Myth-Making and the Politics of Nationality in Narratives of J.S. Bach’s 1717 Contest with Louis Marchand’), the author has co-edited the journal issue as a whole. This issue newly theorises and critiques the writing of musical biography (of prominent as well as less familiar figures) in order to reassert its place in the musicological arena. The contributors were tasked by the editors to focus on social, political, cultural, and economic factors that have shaped musical biography and to interrogate themes of myth, ideology, and narrative in its practices. The range of subject matter and perspective represented in the journal issue has far-reaching implications for new understanding of life-writing and the often central role it plays in the public reception and consumption of music.
