Autorenporträt

Martin Curda completed his Ph.D. studies at Cardiff University, School of Music in 2017. He is currently employed as a lecturer in musicology at the Faculty of Fine Arts and Music of the University of Ostrava (Czech Republic), teaching courses related to music analysis and semiotics, music history since 1900, and performance practice. His research into the music of Pavel Haas has so far led to the publication of several journal articles and book chapters, as well as to the organisation of the first international academic conference focusing specifically on this composer (Pavel Haas Study Day, 2016). His research combines musical-analytical methods with hermeneutic enquiry rooted in semiotics, cultural critique, and discourse analysis, revealing the interaction of music, culture and politics.
