    Professor Emerita Marina Ritzarev (b. 16 April 1946, Leningrad) is an Israeli musicologist. Following her career in St. Petersburg and Moscow, which included research in eighteenth-century Russian music and contemporary Russian music, work at the Archives department of the Central Museum of Musical Culture, and serving as a Deputy Director in the Centre of Musical Information at the USSR Composers' Union, she repatriated in Israel in 1990. Since 1992 she joined the Department of Music at Bar-Ilan University as a senior research fellow funded by the Israeli Ministry of Absorption. In 1997-2000 she worked at the Israeli Music Archive at Tel-Aviv University.

    Multicultural experience, studies in ethnomusicology, and the merging of Russian and Western musicological traditions enhanced new perspectives in her research. Subsequently, in addition to making her works on eighteen-century Russian music available for English-reading audiences, she developed a theory of musical vernaculars, contributed to the studies of Israeli art music and songs, and offered her hypotheses on parallelism in structures of sonata and folktale, as well as suggestions on hidden programs of Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 6 and Shostakovich’s Second Cello Concerto.

    Her activity included teaching many courses on music history and anthropology and supervising many graduate and postgraduate students. She served two terms as President of the Israeli Musicological Society and is a co-editor of Min-Ad: Israel Studies in Musicology Online.
