Cuthbert Girdlestone

Cuthbert Morton Girdlestone was a British musicologist and literary scholar.
Born in Bovey Tracey, Devon, Girdlestone was educated at Southey Hall, Worthing, and the Lycée de Pau; at the Sorbonne, where he was awarded a Licencié-ès-lettres in 1915; and finally at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he was a senior scholar in 1920 and completed the modern and medieval languages tripos the following year.
Thereafter, Girdlestone was a Fellow at Trinity for several years before taking up the chair in French at Armstrong College in 1926, a position he held until 1960. His most famous publications are his much-reprinted study of the Mozart Piano Concertos and his biography of Jean-Philippe Rameau.
