Sound Within Sound: Radical Composers of the Twentieth Century by Kate Molleson
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 8 MB
Overview: An alternative history of 20th-century composers—nearly all of them women or composers of color—by a leading international music critic
Think of a composer right now. Was it a white man? Perhaps in old-fashioned clothing and wild hair? The music history we’re told is one dominated by men, and even then, only a select few enter the zeitgeist. This conventional history perpetuates the myth of “great works” created by “genius” artists. Men who enjoyed institutional privilege during their lifetimes and have since been enshrined by an industry of publishers and record labels. But just because we haven’t heard of spectacular female composers, doesn’t mean they weren’t creating music all the same.
