Ian Bent

Ian David Bent (born 1 January 1938)[1] is a British-born music scholar. He is now Professor Emeritus, after retiring from Full Professor of Music, at Columbia University and Honorary Professor in the History of Music Theory at the University of Cambridge.[2][3]

He took the BA (1961), MusB (1962), and PhD (1969) all from the University of Cambridge before serving as a lecturer at King's College, London in 1965, a professor at the University of Nottingham in 1975, and Columbia University in 1986. His earliest research dealt with the early history of the English Chapel Royal, but later he turned to the history of theory and analysis, and is now a historian of music theory.[1]

He is the editor (since 1991) of the Cambridge Studies in Music Theory and Analysis series and an area editor for the second edition of The New Grove Dictionary of Music.[2] As of 2011, he is the director of Schenker Documents Online.[4]

gollark: Ooh. What's the maximum level?
gollark: - Weapons have a cooldown of 1 hour. Therefore, it is best to go around firing them every hour or so.- Firing weapons at people's stuff is required to level up and get new decorations.- If you wait a long time, people will probably have better equipment than you, so you will get even less XP.
gollark: Why?
gollark: You just need to wait and/or pick up the snow lying around.
gollark: I have some theories on the (very limited) possible utility of walls, but no solid evidence regarding them.
