The Problem of Form in Liszt’s Late Works
We are sorry to announce that, due to the current industrial action, this seminar has been postponed indefinitely.
Dr Shay Loya taught at the University of Durham before joining City University London in September 2012. He received his BA (2000) and MA (2001) from Tel Aviv University and his PhD (2006) from King's College London where he completed a thesis entitled 'The Verbunkos Idiom in Liszt's Music of the Future'. The PhD thesis was about the modernist and crossover aspects of Liszt's Hungarian-Gypsy musical style (verbunkos idiom), as well as its problematic reception history. Several articles and reviews followed, culminating in the monograph Liszt's Transcultural Modernism and the Hungarian-Gypsy Tradition (Rochester: University of Rochester Press, 2011), which won the Alan Walker Prize (2014). His most important recent article is 'Recomposing National Identity: Four Transcultural Readings of Liszt’s Marche hongroise d’après Schubert' (Journal of the American Musicological Society, 2016). Several invited talks and published/in press book chapters followed, and currently he is working on a monograph provisionally entitled 'LIszt's Late Styles'. Apart from Liszt, Dr Loya is more generally interested in Hungarian music, exoticism, nationalism, modernism, transculturation and its application to music analysis, and bridging the knowledge gaps between the musicological disciplines. He is a Trustee of the Society for Music Analysis, a Board Member of the journal 'Music Analysis', and the organiser of the international conference CityMAC2018 (City, University of London, 4-7 July 2018).
