My research is centred on music of J. S. Bach approaching from source studies (both manuscripts and prints), that is, finding new evidence in the sources to offer new interpretation of his music. Source studies offer a wide range of topics including the issues of compositional and revision process, performance practice, notational practice esp. quaver beaming, pedagogy, source transmission, and reception history.
