"Do look after my music!" Irene Wienawska Polowski exclaimed
before her death in 1932. And from the urgency of that sentiment the
authors here have taken their cue to reveal and "look after" the
previously neglected contributions of women throughout the history of
Western art music.
The first work of its kind, Women Making Music presents biographies of outstanding performers and composers, as well as analyses of women musicians as a class, and provides examples of music from all periods including medieval chant, Renaissance song, Baroque opera, German lieder, and twentieth-century composition. Unlike most standard historical surveys, the book not only sheds light upon the musical achievements of women, it also illuminates the historical contexts that shaped and defined those achievements.
