Dr Jasper van der Klis is a postdoctoral researcher on the 'Texting Scarlatti: Composition, Reception, Performance' project funded by the Leverhulme Trust. He is primarily involved with data collection and analysis and oversees the collation efforts of up to 35 citizen scientists. He is particularly focused on the Münster and Vienna collections, which comprise over 800 manuscript copies.

His research interests include Ferruccio Busoni, early recordings, eighteenth-century manuscripts, and nineteenth-century piano performance. At Guildhall School he completed doctoral research on Busoni’s interpretative editions of Bach’s keyboard works (DMus, 2022; supervisors Professor Sir Barry Ife and Dr Christopher Suckling).

Jasper studied piano performance with Sebastián Colombo and Alan Weiss at the Utrecht Conservatoire (BMus, 2015) and with Peter Bithell at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama in London (MPerf, 2017). His studies in London were supported by the Guildhall School Trust and the Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds.
