Particularly, Seulki’s study of the French Fin-de-siècle period and composers was warmly received and reviewed among colleagues. Her publications Virtuosity and Elegance: Sonata in E-flat minor by Paul Dukas (Vol 65. 2), Rediscovering the Legacy: Le Tombeau de Paul Dukas (1936) (Vol 64. No.2) and A Musico-Sociological Study of Paul Dukas’s French-Jewish Identity Manifested in the Rameau Variations (Vol 63, No.2) at the College Music Society Symposium were positively critiqued. (review article, [Vol.65.2] by Dr. Diana Shapiro, review article [Vol. 63.2] by Dr. Diana Shapiro, review article [Vol.64.2] by Shuk-ki Wong).
Her recent release of “Paul Dukas: Complete Piano Works” by Sheva Collection is available worldwide on 25 platforms.
