David Coggins
David Coggins studied at the Royal College of Music (mainly as a performer) and King’s College London (mainly as a music analyst) and has spent his time since exploring ways to bring together those two musical worlds. David has worked as an orchestral musician, a conductor and teacher (Head of Music at Queen Mary’s College and Brockenhurst College). David has a particular research interest in the interplay of harmonic structure and instrumentation in the piano concertos of Mozart and the symphonies of Haydn.
Christopher Tarrant
Christopher Tarrant is Lecturer in Music Analysis at Newcastle University. He received his PhD from Royal Holloway, University of London, in 2015 with a thesis on sonata-theoretical and psychoanalytic approaches to the music of Franz Schubert. His research has focused on theory of form and nineteenth- and twentieth-century instrumental music; his current interests are in the sonata strategies that emerged in the early twentieth century, with a particular emphasis on the Nordic symphony. Christopher has published research in journals such as Music Analysis, the International Journal of Žižek Studies, and the Danish Yearbook of Musicology, as well as book chapters and reviews. He is a trustee of the Society for Music Analysis and he is on the Editorial Committee of the Anglo-Danish journal Carl Nielsen Studies.
