Suzannah E. Clark (b Feb 3, 1969) is a Canadian-British musicologist and music theorist specializing in the music of Franz Schubert, the history of music theory, and medieval music. She is currently the Gardner Cowles Associate Professor of Music at Harvard University.
Biography
Clark grew up in Newfoundland, Canada and England. Educated at King’s College London, Princeton University, and the Humboldt University Berlin, she took up a Junior Research Fellowship, and then a British Academy Research Fellowship at Merton College Oxford. Between 1999 and 2007 she taught at Oxford University as a university lecturer. In 2007 she moved to Harvard University, where she had first taught as a visiting professor the previous year.
As befits her Canadian upbringing, Clark is an enthusiastic hockey player and supporter. Interestingly, she developed this interest particularly while living in England. Clark plays the flute. She is also a star-gazer and collector of tropical fish.
Work
Clark’s main research has focused on Schubert analysis. Originally beginning with an analysis of the harmonically symmetrical properties of his instrumental forms, Clark’s study soon encompassed the forms of Schubert’s songs as well. Her interest in the properties of diatonicism has also fed much of her work in the history of music theory, notably in her studies of Arthur von Oettingen and Heinrich Schenker. Clark’s work on medieval music originally focused on the music of the thirteenth century, the trouvères, the genre of refrains, but now centers broadly on questions of textuality, performance, and musical analysis.
