Golan Gur

Golan Gur serves as a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Musicology at the University of Vienna's Faculty of Philological and Cultural Studies. His academic position as Privatdozent (a habilitation-qualified lecturer in the Austrian system) places him within the institute's core faculty structure, with affiliations extending to the Arnold Schoenberg and the Viennese School Research Center and the Gustav Mahler Science Center focused on Viennese Modernism.

His research spans critical areas of musicological inquiry:

• Historical analysis of Viennese Modernism (Schoenberg, Mahler)
• 20th Century Music sociocultural contexts
• Music Families genealogical studies
• Contemporary music dissemination phenomena (e.g., GOING VIRAL project)
• Early Music editorial work (New Senfl Edition)

Dr. Gur contributes to the institute's active research portfolio including "Musikerfamilien," "A World Within a Room?" and "Performers as Commissioners," reflecting interdisciplinary approaches from Renaissance musicology to digital virality studies. His role encompasses teaching in the Music History curriculum and supervision within the Master's program in Musicology.

Current research infrastructure includes collaboration with the institute's historical archives and the "Musikgeschichte Online" digital platform, leveraging resources like the Arnold Schoenberg Collection and Gustav Mahler archives for empirical scholarship.
