Gesellschaft für Musikforschung

The Gesellschaft für Musikforschung (GfM) is a professional association of musicologists and institutes active in study, research and teaching in Germany. It has over 1600 members. The association is based in Kassel, Hesse.[1]

History

The society was founded in 1946, continuing the work of a predecessor institution. It deals with questions of historical musicology, ethnomusicology and systematic musicology. The society also promotes musicological research in dialogue with other disciplines. In addition, it sees itself as an organ for communicating findings from the field of music to the public.[2]

The society publishes the scholarly journal Die Musikforschung by Bärenreiter-Verlag and also collaborates with the publishers Breitkopf & Härtel, Henle, Laaber, Georg Olms and Schott.

Every year a scientific conference with symposia, lectures and events of the specialist groups is organized; every four years another one is held as the "International Congress of the Society for Music Research".[3]

Honorary members

Literature
gollark: This is bigger, but basically none of the members actually use it frequently.
gollark: By active member count, not really.
gollark: I assume your alts within it have already found out about this.
gollark: Esoserver currently operates a #suggestions channel into which, presumably, suggestions go and are discussed a bit. This seems to work okay without enforcing a particular style of discussion, although most bulk metadiscussion just goes in <#348702212110680064>. We haven't really had any large-scale debates happening, so who knows.
gollark: Which is still more annoying for the writer. So I'm not sure why you would expect people to interpret it as an amazing gift.
