In this episode, I chat with Dr. Kristin Franseen (Western University) about her musical upbringing as a bassist, her early interest in becoming an orchestral librarian, and her time at McGill University earning a PhD in musicology. We also chat about her first book, Imagining Musical Pasts, and her current research on the intersection of music and gossip, specifically within the supposed feud between Mozart and Salieri.
