Suzannah Clark Clark works on the history of music theory, and has focussed in particular on Rameau, Fétis, Oettingen, Schenker, as well as on neo-Riemannian approaches. She is interested in how theorists underpin their systems with appeals to external phenomena and how this affects their conceptions of tonal space. She is also currently working on a book Analyzing Schubert, which is a reception history of Schubert’s harmony in both the songs and instrumental music. Additionally, she works on 13th-century French motets and its intersection with the trouvères repertory through the use of the "refrain." She recently co-edited, with Elizabeth Eva Leach, Citation and Authority in Medieval and Renaissance Musical Culture: Learning from the Learned (2005). Clark serves on the editorial boards of Music Analysis and Music Theory Spectrum and is a council member of the Royal Musical Association.
