The Center for Beethoven Research at Boston University invites proposals of up to 300 words for thirty-minute papers to be delivered at Reframing Beethoven, a major International Conference planned by the Center in conjunction with the Boston Symphony Orchestra in commemoration of the 250th birthday of Ludwig van Beethoven and in honor of the 90th birthday of Lewis Lockwood. The conference will be held on the campus of Boston University from September 29 to October 1, 2020. Papers may explore any area of Beethoven studies, including Beethoven's life and works, manuscripts and creative process, reception history, and performance practice. Proposals should clearly indicate the main arguments, new contributions, and significance of the findings to be conveyed, plus any audio-visual equipment needed. Proposals for papers by graduate students and other young scholars are encouraged: travel subventions may be available for these presenters upon application.  Please submit proposals together with your name and contact information via email to Jacquelyn Sholes, Chair of the Program Committee, at jsholes -at- bu.edu by September 1, 2019.  Other enquiries may be addressed to Jeremy Yudkin, Co-Director of the Boston University Center for Beethoven Research at yudkinj -at- bu.edu.
