From 1971 until his retirement in 2004, he lectured at the University of Liverpool, UK, where he became Professor of Music in 1991. His interest in Satie's life, music and compositional methods developed in the 1980's resulting in numerous articles and two books: 'Satie the Composer' (Cambridge University Press, 1990) and 'Satie Remembered' (Faber, 1995). He has also written books on Faure, Koechlin and Debussy, and has edited and published various rediscovered Satie pieces, including 'Embarquement pour Cythère' (1917), the 'Sixième Nocturne' (1919), the 'Scènes nouvelles pour "Le Médecin malgré lui"', and the 'Divertissment: La Statue retrouvée' (both from 1923). His reconstruction and orchestration of Debussy's opera 'The Fall of the House of Usher' will receive its first performance at the Bregenzer Festspiele on 7 August 2006.
