Career
Buschmeier studied German, history, and musicology at universities in Cologne and Paris.[citation needed] She completed a doctoral degree at the University of Mainz with a thesis, Die Entwicklung von Arie und Szene in der französischen Oper von Gluck bis Spontini, which studied the evolution of solo songs in European opera.[8][9] The revised version of her thesis, which was published in 1991, was "warmly recommended" by Jesse Rosenberg, although with criticism for the choices and reliability of her sources.[8]
From 1994 onwards, she worked as a senior consultant for the coordination of musicological editions at the Academy of Sciences and Literature in Mainz.[citation needed]
