Work

About his book from 2016, Choice magazine said: ""With this book, Grant (Wesleyan Univ.) sets groundwork for resolving the longstanding division in music theory between 'music perception' and the 'history of theory,' and he does so in ways music scholars at all levels should note. Essential."[3]

According to a recent interview, Grant believes that "during the eighteenth century, debates within musical aesthetics re-scripted the role that performing musicians play in the creation and communication of affect."[4]
