He focused on 18th-to-21st-century Russian music but also researched 15th- and 20th-century music, analysis, modernism, musical nationalism, and performance theory. He is best known for the six-volume Oxford History of Western Music. His honors include the American Musicological Society's first Noah Greenberg Award (1978) and the Kyoto Prize in Arts and Philosophy.
