Leon Plantinga

Leon B. Plantinga is an American musicologist specializing in music of the later eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. His writings have influenced scholarship on Clementi, Beethoven, and Schumann, and his textbook Romantic Music continues to serve as a standard textbook on nineteenth-century music in American universities. Having served as a faculty member of the Department of Music at Yale University from 1963 to 2005, he is now a member of the emeritus faculty. He is the brother of philosopher Alvin Plantinga and theologian Cornelius Plantinga.[1]

He is the author of Beethoven's Concertos: History, Style, Performance. (New York: W. W. Norton, 1999. [xi, 403 p. + 1 booklet of music examples, 108 p. ISBN 0-393-04691-5)[2]

gollark: Then you get the *fun* and *excitement* of dealing with buffer overflow issues.
gollark: If it was an actual char vector thingy, it would not be null terminated.
gollark: In sane languages, instead of being null-terminated, a string is basically a byte vector/array/whatever which has an actual length, reducing all the buffer overflow problems and making it so you can get lengths without iterating over the whole string.
gollark: Er, null termination.
