[ANPPOM-L] The British Library Visiting Edison Fellowship

[Carlos Palombini]

THE BRITISH LIBRARY

VISITING EDISON FELLOWSHIP

The British Library's Edison Fellowship Programme is designed to 
encourage scholarship devoted to the history of recordings of western 
art music and music in performance through creating the conditions for 
concentrated use of the Sound Archive's collections of discs and tapes.

The subjects of research under the scheme have included historical 
performance analyses of Bach's B Minor Mass and of Bartók's string 
quartets, an examination of the changing vocal techniques that resulted 
from the introduction of verismo opera styles, the creation through 
gramophone records of new audiences for classical music in Britain and 
in France up to the middle of the twentieth century, performance styles 
of the Hungarian Violin School 1910-1940, and recordings - including the 
composers' own archival recordings - of music by Elisabeth Lutyens and 
Elizabeth Maconchy.

The Library is offering on a competitive basis an Edison Fellowship 
between September 2006 and August 2007. This may be held as a full- or a 
part-time appointment. Proposals will be considered which treat any 
aspect of the history of recording and the performance of western art 
music. The period of the Fellowship will be agreed at the time it is 
offered, but the tenure will not exceed four months' continuous 
residence nor the award exceed £5000.

Closing date for applications: Tuesday 6 December 2005
