Richard Cohn writes: “In December I taught my last class at Yale, completing 45 years of teaching music theory to mostly undergraduate students. I will be spending most of the next two years as a visiting professor at the University of Sydney, where I’ve been visiting when I can for the last 12 years, incubating an incipient community of Australian music theory researchers. Additionally, the European Union Commission appointed me as the European Area Research Chair for a five-year term, awarding a 2.5 million Euro grant to run a music theory research group at the University of Coimbra in Portugal, so I’ll be spending time there when I am able and increasingly so in 2027. Later this year, MIT Press will be publishing my notes for an undergraduate non-majors course, A Simple Mathematics of Musical Pitch and Time.” Contact Richard at [email protected].
