Why Is Joel Sheveloff Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Joel Leonard Sheveloff was an American musicologist, teacher and author. Reception Sheveloff graduated from the City University of New York, Queens College, majoring in clarinet then earned a master's and a doctorate from Brandeis University. His 1970 dissertation on the keyboard instrument music of Domenico Scarlatti attracted attention by scholars. According to Robert Marshall and Carlo Grante, Ralph Kirkpatrick's iconic, exemplary work was eventually challenged by Joel Sheveloff. Sheveloff's Scarlatti scholarship, based on a close analysis and comparison of the manuscript and printed historical editions of the sonatas, contradicted Kirkpatrick's claim to have established a chronological order for Scarlatti's keyboard works. Although Scholars have long assumed Scarlatti's preferred instrument to have been the harpsichord, Shevleoff again made a case that Scarlatti would have used Bartolomeo Cristofori's newly invented fortepiano. According to Michael Talbot, Sheveloff is "the doyen of living Scarlatti scholars" while W. D. Sutcliffe said that Sheveloff's doctoral dissertation represents the most important detailed work on the sources, providing "the most considered commentary on Scarlatti's syntactical habits." Sutcliffe takes seriously Sheveloff's claim that Scarlatti's Style is composed of 'an abundance of tiny, special details'.
