Musicology graduate student wins Pisk Prize
By Linda B. Glaser
Doctoral candidate Mark Ferraguto has been awarded the American Musicological Society's Pisk Prize, which recognizes the most outstanding scholarly paper read by a graduate student at the annual meeting of the society. Ferraguto's paper was titled "Beethoven à la Moujik: Russianness and Learned Style in the 'Rasumovsky' String Quartets."
"The Pisk Prize is one of the most prestigious awards for a graduate student in musicology," says Steve Pond, associate professor and chair of the music department.
Ferraguto's research, under the direction of music professor James Webster, focuses on 18th- and 19th-century music, in particular the instrumental music of Haydn and Beethoven. In addition to his musicological work, Ferraguto is pursuing a concentration in performance practice with an emphasis on early keyboards.
