Early life and education
Sgutsitn was born in the city of [...] in Fyxám to a well-off family of Adutsib descent as the second of four children. Before they moved to Fyxám, her father, ____ ___, was chair of mathematics in the University of Flian who composed in his spare time. Her mother, ___ ___, was a classical ŋams player and music teacher. Her mother's brother, ___ ___, was a sewøðr player.
A precocious tomboy, early on Rewhd was taught mathematics and davr by her parents. She started auditing music and math classes before she was 5. She was to a large extent self-taught in the boarding school math and music curriculum, seeking out math and music books to read in libraries, music to listen to, and instruments to learn to play. She was allowed to skip boarding school and to enroll in the University of Olltal in math at age 10 by taking an entrance exam. She was an exceptionally gifted student and graduated in mathematics with honors at age 16.
Around graduation, Sguðitn began to study with composers such as Cosga Siva. In fT 2252 she participated in the composition competition Farca Dalóor, but failed to win the prize. Three years later (fT 2255), on her second attempt she won the prize with another entry, [some cantata or mini-opera].
After winning Farca Dalóor Sgutsitn returned to the University of Olltal as a doctoral student in mathematics, and was awarded a doctorate for her dissertation [something about algebraic curves?] (fT 2261) under the supervision of Zatsýr Lic.
Career
Sgutsitn corresponded with a number of composers and musicians to exchange ideas about music. Those would inspire her to further develop the music theory at that time.
[Pre-computer logistics?]
Later life
In fT 2300 (aged 63), Sgutsitn retired from her academic career and secluded herself, intending to focus solely on composition. She lived in a house in Sŋooron until she died of a stroke in fT 2316 (aged 80).
Compositions
Sgutsitn’s compositions, many of them commissioned, number about 100 works in total. Many of her works are chamber music and songs.
Sgutsitn could only compose at a limited pace during her academic career. Much of her œuvre comes from after she retired and was only published after her death.
(Many of her “high-level” tempo markings and staff directions are in her native Eevo – while “low-level” ones such as dynamics markings remain in Windermere.)
Sgutsitn's works often use regular temperaments, in addition to works that use just intonation as in traditional Etalocian music. She also authored a classic textbook on regular temperaments, though she herself did not invent the notion.
Mathematical output
Sgutsitn contributed to number theory, algebraic geometry and algebraic topology. (10 bullet points max)
- sheaves and sheaf cohomology
Bibliography
Personal life
A lesbian, Sgutsitn never married a man or had children. She had a handful of female lovers.
Family members:
- Osri Sguðitn (older sister) - applied mathematician
- Yzich Sguðitn (younger sister) - an artist
