Professor Suzannah Clark is a Professor of Music at Harvard. Professor Clark did her undergraduate and master’s degrees at King’s College London (UK) and graduated with an MFA (1993) and PhD (1997) from Princeton University. She spent a year at the Humboldt University as a visiting student in 1994–1995. She held a Junior Research Fellowship (1996–1999) and a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship (1999–2000) at Merton College, Oxford. She then taught at Oxford for eight years as a University Lecturer in Music and Tutorial Fellow at Merton College before joining Harvard in 2008. 
 
Professor Clark specializes in the music of Franz Schubert, the history of music theory, and medieval vernacular music. Her book Analyzing Schubert was published by Cambridge University Press in 2011. She co-edited Music Theory and Natural Order from the Renaissance to the Early Twentieth Century (Cambridge University Press, 2001; pbk 2005) with Alexander Rehding, and co-edited Citation and Authority in Medieval and Renaissance Musical Culture: Learning from the Learned(Boydell & Brewer, 2005) with Elizabeth Eva Leach. She is currently working on a book, "Quirks in Tonality: Aspects in the History of Tonal Space," which focuses on major issues in the history of tonal theory, such as changing conceptions of modulation, changing perceptions of key relations, constructions of diatonicism versus chromaticism, and even why theorists like to draw musical diagrams of what has come to be known as “tonal space.”
