Research Projects
The 20/19 Project Monograph
Curated and commissioned by Anne Lanzilotti to celebrate the centenary of the 1919 viola works by Bloch, Clarke and Hindemith, the 20/19 Project involved live performances, video interviews, and this numbered limited edition monograph. It includes exclusive new essays by Daphne Gerling and Anne Leilehua Lanzilotti and composer notes by Andrew Norman, Anna Thorvaldsdottir, Scott Wollschleger, and Ana Quiroga. Scholar and performer Daphne Gerling’s essay frames the three 1919 viola sonatas by Ernest Bloch, Rebecca Clarke, and Paul Hindemith in the political and cultural framework of that time. Lanzilotti’s essay similarly discusses the three new sonatas written in celebration of the centennial of these three important works. The 32-page monograph was published by Studio Will Dutta in 2019. It is designed by Russell Warren-Fisher and edited by Will Dutta.
Viola Quartet Databases
A Viola Quartet Database compiled with co-authors Dominic DeStefano, University of Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music; Hillary Herndon, University of Tennessee; and Katherine J. Lewis, Illinois State University. This project was expanded in 2014 to include music for 5-12 violas and Viola Trios in 2017. These projects evolved into the American Viola Society Viola Ensemble Database Website in 2016.
Doctoral Dissertation
My doctoral dissertation, Connecting histories: Identity and exoticism in Ernest Bloch, Rebecca Clarke, and Paul Hindemith's viola works of 1919, is available online through the Rice University Library.
