Peattie specializes in Historical Musicology, with core interests spanning Romanticism, Modernism, Postwar Avant-Garde, Music and Environment, Transcription, and Historiography. His work critically examines landscape as a structural element in symphonies and the cultural intersections of visual arts with musical modernity.
Recent publications trend toward interdisciplinary analysis of Romantic and Modernist eras, emphasizing how environmental concepts shape symphonic form and avant-garde transcription practices, particularly in the long 19th century and post-1945 Europe.
His accolades comprise:

Peattie advises no documented students but holds significant editorial roles: he serves on the Advisory Board of the Gustav Mahler Research Center (Dobbiaco, Italy), contributes to the editorial boards of Mahler Dimensions and Gustav Mahler Research Centre (Hollitzer Verlag, Vienna), and has taught courses including History of Western Music I/II, Romantic Music, and Music after 1900.
He leads international Mahler scholarship through institutional boards and is preparing a monograph on Luciano Berio's transcribing practices, extending his expertise in symphonic landscape theory to modernist contexts.
