From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Roger Mathew Grant is a music theorist specializing in the eighteenth century. He also works as a dramaturge, for example with Canadian filmmaker Bruce LaBruce on a film version of Arnold Schoenberg's "Pierrot Lunaire."[1] Grant teaches at Wesleyan University.[2]
According to a recent interview, Grant believes that "during the eighteenth century, debates within musical aesthetics re-scripted the role that performing musicians play in the creation and communication of affect."[3]
