I am a university lecturer in economics, with an interest in history and music. Mainly work on classical music at the moment...Want to help create pages for classical compositions (concentrating on Richard Strauss up to now). I am also keen to improve pages on economics which are a bit of a mixed bunch at the moment. However, harder to build up enthusiasm for economics since it is my day job.

Work done or in progress
Pages I have been instrumental in setting up:


 * Duet concertino for clarinet and bassoon
 * Horn concerto No.2
 * Cello Sonata (Strauss)
 * Symphony No. 1 (Strauss) (DYK, 2 July 2016).
 * Ständchen, (DYK, 26 May 2016).
 * Taillefer (DYK, 19 April 2016).
 * Die Tageszeiten (DYK, published 9 April 2016)
 * Sehnsucht
 * Winternacht
 * Befreit (DYK 1 May 2016)
 * Allerseelen
 * Die Nacht
 * Des Dichters Abendgang
 * Frühlingsfeier
 * Wandrers Sturmlied

 * Notturno
 * Zueignung (DYK, published 24 Jan 2016)
 * Sonata for piano in B minor, Op. 5, needs more work!
 * Horn Concerto No 1, Opus 11 (Richard Strauss)
 * Calvo (Staggered) contracts (Still needs a bit of work!)
 * Taylor Contracts (economics)
 * Divertimento for chamber orchestra after keyboard pieces by Couperin, Opus 86 (Strauss)
 * Tanzsuite aus Klavierstücken von François Couperin, TrV 245

Many Thanks to the tireless Gerda Arendt for the DYK nominations and help in getting the pages to DYK status.
