I am a researcher in the field of baroque music, with a particular interest in keyboard music and its performance practice. My academic activity as a musicologist is combined with my intensive teaching activity and activity as a professional book designer and music engraver.

As a musicologist I prefer to study music itself than to talk something abstract around it in a convoluted and florid manner. I am interested more in the quality of publications than in their quantity. I believe that musicologists should write and publish only when they have something really new and important to contribute to the discourse.

As a music teacher I am more interested in teaching theoretical subjects, and I personally find the solfeggio (ear training) is the most intriguing and complex among the disciplines, because it more closely relates to psychology than intellect.

As a book designer I am still in progress.

As a music engraver I am a perfectionist who pays an extraordinary attention to a visual aesthetics and comfort of a music design.

If you would like to know more of myself or my work, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
