Mathias Spohr
In this text, Mathias Spohr attempts to give an overview of the situation of research in the Music Universities in Switzerland, with a particular focus on the French and Italian parts . Numerous important questions are raised, mainly the respective roles of teaching and research in those institutions, the necessity to create career paths for future generations, and the relation of both proximity and demarcation between Music Universities based, practical research and its traditional, purely academic counterpart.
