Female Perspectives on Music between Early Modern Times and Today
Clara Schumann often had to privilege her husband's artistic interests over her own; Fanny Mendelssohn was long overshadowed by her brother Felix; 200 years earlier, on the other hand, Barbara Strozzi was a real star whose fame lasted long after her death. Isabella Leonarda, the Mother Superior of a convent, was the first woman to have her music printed. Using the biographies of female musicians from the period ca. 1600-1850 and the social structures surrounding them, Anaïs Chen, Giovanna Baviera and Matthias Klenota discuss the challenges and opportunities for female composers and musicians historically and in today's classical music business.
