Carolyn Abbate Biography

Carolyn Abbate is one of the most popular and richest Musicologist who was born on November 20, 1955 in New York, United States.

Carolyn Abbate (born November 20, 1956) is an American musicologist, described by the Harvard Gazette as “one of the world’s most accomplished and admired music historians”. She is currently Paul and Catherine Buttenwieser University Professor at Harvard University. A practitioner of the field’s traditional methodologies, she challenged their limits, mobilizing literary theory and philosophy to provoke new ways of thinking about music and understanding its experience. From her earliest essays she has questioned familiar approaches to well-known works, reaching beyond their printed scores and composer intentions, to explore the particular, physical impact of the medium upon performer and audience alike. Her research focuses primarily on the operatic repertory of the 19th century, offering creative and innovative approaches to understanding these works critically and historically. Some of her more recent work has addressed topics such as film studies and performance studies more generally.

Abbate was born to Dolores R. (Kollmeyer) and Russell V. Abbate; she has two sisters. Abbate completed her BA at Yale University in 1977. While still an undergraduate at Yale, she reconstructed the score of Claude Debussy’s La chute de la maison Usher (The Fall of the House of Usher) – a work long regarded as unsalvageably incomplete. She continued her studies in Munich and Princeton, completing her PhD at Princeton University under J. Merrill Knapp in 1984.
