This award was established by Isabelle Emerson, founding President of the Mozart Society of America, in honor of her mother. A prize of $500 will be awarded annually for the best scholarly work in English related to Mozart to have been published during the preceding calendar year. Eligible works include books, essays, or editions. The selection will be made by a committee of Mozart scholars and performers appointed by the President of the Mozart Society of America, with approval from the Board of Directors. Works may be submitted for consideration by the author or nominated by committee members or outside scholars. Deadline for nominations will be 1 May (or as determined by the committee and President). The award will be presented at the Society’s annual business meeting in the fall and announced in the January issue of the Society’s Newsletter.
