Autorenporträt
Craig M. Wright, Ph.D., received his Bachelor of Music from the Eastman School of Music in 1966 and his Doctorate in Musicology from Harvard University in 1972. He began his teaching career at the University of Kentucky and for over forty years taught at Yale University, where he was the Henry L. and Lucy G. Moses Professor of Music. At Yale, Wright's courses included his perennially popular introductory course, Listening to Music (also part of the offerings of Open Yale Courses); his large lecture course, Exploring the Nature of Genius; and most recently his Coursera course, Introduction to Classical Music. He is the author of numerous scholarly books and articles on composers ranging from Leoninus to Bach. Wright has also been the recipient of many awards, including a Guggenheim Fellowship, the Einstein and Kinkeldey Awards of the American Musicological Society, and the Dent Medal of the International Musicological Society. In 2004, he was awarded the honorary degree Doctor of Humane Letters from the University of Chicago. In 2010 he was elected a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, joining fellow inductee and banjo player Steve Martin.
