Steven Vande Moortele’s research concentrates on theories of musical form, the analysis of instrumental music from the late eighteenth to the early twentieth century, and the music of Arnold Schoenberg. His publications include articles and reviews in Revue belge de musicologie, Dutch Journal of Music Theory, Musik und Ästhetik, Nineteenth-Century Music Review, Current Musicology, and Music Analysis, as well as essays in a number of edited volumes. His first book, Two-Dimensional Sonata Form: Form and Cycle in Single-Movement Instrumental Works by Liszt, Strauss, Schoenberg, and Zemlinsky, appeared in 2009.
Forthcoming publications include a study of phrase structure in Liszt’s symphonic poems, an essay on Wagner’s opera Der fliegende Holländer, a chapter in the Cambridge Companion to the Symphony (ed. Julian Horton), and a contribution to the Cambridge Wagner Encyclopedia (ed. Nicholas Vazsonyi). Currently, he is working on an edited volume on the theory of formal functions (with Nathan Martin and Julie Pedneault-Deslauriers). He is also preparing a second monograph, provisionally titled Overtures and the Romanticization of Symphonic Form, which will explore the genre of the programmatic overture in Germany between 1825 and 1850.
Before coming to the University of Toronto, Vande Moortele held postdoctoral positions at the University of Leuven (Belgium) and McGill University and taught at the University of Oklahoma. He is review editor of the Dutch Journal of Music Theory and editor (with Pieter Bergé) of the series Studies in Musical Form (Leuven University Press). From 2011 to 2013, his research is supported by a grant from the Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung (Bonn, Germany).
