Yoel Greenberg is Emanuel Alexandre Professor of Musicology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where he serves as Chair of the Department of Musicology, and Head of the Jewish Music Research Centre. His research focuses on eighteenth-century music theory and form, and on modern analytical approaches that integrate historical sources with corpus-based methods. He is Principal Investigator of the European Research Council Consolidator Grant project Towards a Diachronic Music Theory, and has held numerous research grants from the Israel Science Foundation. Alongside his scholarly work, Greenberg is an active performer as a violist with the Carmel Quartet.

Greenberg's inspirational book opens a window upon the genesis of sonata form and offers a tool with which to trace its further evolution. His bottom-up approach has the potential to redraw the map of this process sketched by earlier scholarship.
