Dr. Dagmar Glüxam is a distinguished Austrian music historian, editor, violinist, children’s book author and illustrator, and senior lecturer in musicology at the University of Vienna and the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna. Internationally recognized for her expertise in 17th- and 18th-century music, she has produced highly acclaimed scholarly editions, including Rosenkranz-Sonaten by H. I. F. Biber, Orfeo, ed Euridice by J. J. Fux, and J. S. Bach’s Sonaten und Partiten für Violino Solo (2009).
Her work as a performer and scholar is exemplified by the first recording of Fr. V. Míča’s opera L’Origine di Jaromeriz in Moravia, which she directed with the ensemble Le Monde Classique, earning the Golden Harmony Critics Prize for the best Czech recording of 1994.
Dr. Glüxam’s academic contributions include her dissertation Die Violinskordatur in der Geschichte des Violinspiels (Tutzing, 1999) and habilitation thesis Instrumentarium und Instrumentalstil in der Wiener Hofoper zwischen 1705 und 1740 (Tutzing, 2006), both regarded as standard references in their fields.
Her latest book, “Aus der Seele muß man spielen …” (Vienna, 2020), provides the first comprehensive exploration of Baroque affect theory and its impact on musical interpretation, cementing her reputation as a leading authority on Baroque performance practice.
