Abstract

Leah Batstone (leah.batstone@mail.mcgill.ca) received her Ph.D. from McGill University in 2019. Her dissertation examines the influence of Friedrich Nietzsche on Mahler’s early symphonies through the study of Nietzsche’s reception by the composer’s intellectual circle. Her expertise extends to issues surrounding identity and art music in central and eastern Europe. Batstone is the recipient of a 2020–3 Marie Skłodowska Curie Action REWIRE fellowship at the University of Vienna, where she will be working on a history of twentieth-century artmusic inUkraine. She is completing a monograph, Mahler’s Nietzsche; and an article on Mahler and multiethnic identity in fin-de-siècle Vienna is forthcoming in 19th-Century Music. She currently teaches at Hunter College, City University of New York.
