Andrew Malilay White is a Filipino-American theorist and artist from Guam. He researches nineteenth-century improvisatory praxis at the piano and its effect on musical structure and textual authority, focusing on Franz Liszt, Carl Czerny, Clara Schumann, and Friedrich Wieck: in other words, what were historical improvisations made out of? What kinds of musical materials were re-used, and how did this affect a musician’s impression of what music-making really was? This research stresses practice methods as shown in manuals, journals, and letters from the nineteenth century. He has also given papers on the analysis of dance. In 2018 his research was supported by a Eugene K. Wolf Grant for European Research from the American Musicological Society. Andrew currently teaches at Austin Community College. He was a 2021-2023 Postdoctoral Fellow in the University of Chicago’s Division of Humanities and a 2023-2025 Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Texas at Austin. Outside of his research interests, Andrew is an electronic music improviser and a visual artist.
