Robert Zappulla
As a Fulbright Scholar, he studied harpsichord with Gustav Leonhardt at the Sweelinck Conservatorium Amsterdam for one year, and, while there, he decided to write a doctoral dissertation in historical musicology for Utrecht University. His recent book, Figured Bass Accompaniment in France (Turnhout: Brepols Publishers, 2000; preface by Ton Koopman), is a comprehensive study of the numerous French accompaniment treatises produced during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Dr. Zappulla is currently a Visiting Professor in the Department of Music at Claremont Graduate University in California, and he performs frequently in the Los Angeles area; he has also performed throughout North America and much of Europe. In 2000 he accepted the co-editorship (with harpsichordist Igor Kipnis, who passed away in 2002) of Routledge's Encyclopedia of the Harpsichord and Clavichord, which is due to appear in 2003.
