Hensel : String Quartet in E flat

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The String Quartet in E flat major (1834) by Fanny Hensel, née Mendelssohn, is one of the most important works by a female composer written in the nineteenth century. Composed at a turning point in her life (as Hensel was not only grappling with her own creative voice but also coming to terms with her identity as a married woman, and the role her family expected of her), the quartet is significant in showing a woman composing in a genre that was then almost exclusively the domain of male artists. Benedict Taylor's illuminating book situates itself within developing scholarly discourse on the music of women composers, going beyond apologetics - or condemnation of those who hindered their development - to examine the strength and qualities of the music and how it responded to the most progressive works of the period.
