Michael Vincent

Visiting Instructor, Musicology

Dr. Michael Vincent’s research unites two strands of recent musicological inquiry: genre studies and historiography of the Enlightenment. His scholarship centers on eighteenth-century music from Mozart's generation, with inquiries extending to baroque dance forms and nineteenth-century reception. He focuses on regional dances in Luigi Boccherini’s chamber music, drawing upon data collected from original manuscript studies. He explores how Boccherini's migrant status interfaced with his music, career, and biographical tradition. Methodologies include cultural studies, postcolonialism, historical ethnography, transnationalism, and music-analytical traditions from America and Europe. He received fellowships to support his research at the University of Florida, including the Tedder Family Doctoral Fellowship from The Center for Humanities and the Public Sphere; a Foreign Language Area Studies Fellowship from the Center for European Studies; the Graduate School Fellowship Program; and the Graduate School Doctoral Dissertation Award.
