Cuthbert Girdlestone
Cuthbert Morton Girdlestone (17 September 1895 – 10 December 1975) 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 (LèsL) 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 (one of only three to do so with a starred first, the other two being the brothers Sergey and Vladimir Nabokov).
Thereafter, Girdlestone was a Fellow at Trinity for several years before taking up the chair in French at Armstrong College (later to be King's College in Newcastle) in 1926, a position he held until 1960. His most famous publications are his much-reprinted study of the Mozart Piano Concertos (1939, published originally in French) and his biography of Jean-Philippe Rameau (1957).
