The Center for Beethoven Research @ BU fosters ties with other universities, centers, and academic departments at Boston University and elsewhere, including the Beethoven-Haus in Bonn. The Center promotes scholarship in a wide spectrum of Beethoven studies, with a focus on analysis and criticism, sketch and autograph studies, biogr
aphy, and historical and cultural contexts. It maintains a library of books and scores, facsimiles of original sources, and a website that can serve as a portal for scholars, teachers, authors, critics, and members of the general public who wish to be in touch with the most recent Beethoven scholarship. From BU CFA website:
The only center of its kind on the East Coast of the United States, the Center for Beethoven Research is focused solely on the study of the life and music of this great master within Western musical tradition. The Center has recently been granted a charter by Boston University. In addition to programming concerts of the composers’s works, the Center collaborates with Beethoven centers around the word to host events and conferences, including a symposium in April 2016 on the late Beethoven String Quartets. The Center also hosts eminent visiting scholars as part of its Distinguished Lecture Series.
