Research and teaching

Since 1970 Krones had been teaching at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna and was appointed full professor and head of the teaching office Musikalische Stilkunde und Aufführungspraxis in 1987. Since 1996, he has also been heading the Arnold-Schönberg-Institute of this university. In October 2013 Krones retired. Among the focal points of his work as author and editor of numerous publications are historical performance practice, musical symbolism and music of the 20th century. Krones is concerned with identifying meanings in music. Critics have commented critically on his approach, saying that Krones confuses "the musical expression of feelings with programme music".[1]
