DESCRIPTION:Doctoral Colloquium: Prof. Sarah Waltz (Musicology\, University
  of the Pacific)\n\nTitle: 'What Caroline Herschel’s Music Notebook Reveal
 s'\n	Caroline Herschel (1750–1848)\, sometimes accounted the first professi
 onal woman astronomer\, was brought to Bath in 1772 by her brother William
  (1732–1822) to learn to sing and perform in oratorios\; both Herschels le
 ft professional music-making behind after William discovered the planet Ur
 anus in 1781. Historians of science have often followed Caroline’s late au
 tobiographies unquestioningly with respect to her musical development. Bio
 graphies\, paradoxically\, use her own modest language to downplay her tra
 ining while also using her regret over leaving music to impute a lost musi
 cal “career” to her that would be impossible even for women of much greate
 r ability. Caroline’s unexamined music notebook c.1773 (housed at Yale Uni
 versity’s Beinecke Library) holds significant possibility for reinterpreti
 ng this story. It demonstrates William’s vocal and keyboard pedagogy\, pos
 itively refuting assertions that she was “not taught” the keyboard. It inc
 ludes tips for accompanying\, tuning her instrument\, and\, unusually\, co
 nducting. Moreover\, it contains not just favored musical souvenirs but in
 cludes—I suggest—her own compositions\, set as exercises by her brother.\n
 \nBiography:\n	Sarah Clemmens Waltz is professor of music history at the Un
 iversity of the Pacific in Stockton\, California\, currently residing in W
 indsor\, ON. A scholar of German and British musical circles of the late e
 ighteenth and early nineteenth centuries\, she holds undergraduate degrees
  in physics and music history from Oberlin and the Ph.D. from Yale. Apart 
 from research on the Herschels\, she has recent publications on Beethoven\
 , Mendelssohn\, Ossianic text-settings\, and topical analysis (including a
  just-published article on E-flat Minor with Journal of the Royal Musical 
 Association).\n\nThe Doctoral Colloquium is open to all.\n
