The fund was established by friends of John Daverio
(1954-2003) in his memory. When fully endowed, its
proceeds will be directed toward the subvention of
scholarly books in fields appropriate to his interests
and expertise.
John Daverio was born in Sharon, Pennsylvania, and at the age of 16, as a junior in high school, had his first courses at Boston University. There he went on to earn his BA (1975), MA (1976), and Ph.D. (1983). He then served the faculty of that instituation with considerable distinction for more than two decades, including as chair of undergraduate and graduate programs in Music and, in 2001-02, interim director of the School of Music. Daverio won the 1987 Alfred Einstein Award of the AMS for “Schumann’s ‘Im Legendenton’ and Friedrich Schlegel’s Arabeske” published in 19th-Century Music. His considerable stature in the field of 19th-century music, particularly German Romanticism, was already widely recognized; he went on to leave a formidable legacy of three major volumes: Nineteenth-Century Music and the German Romantic Ideology (Schirmer Books, 1993), Robert Schumann: Herald of a New Poetic Age (Oxford UP, 1997), and Crossing Paths: Schubert, Schumann and Brahms (Oxford UP, 2002).
