In Maria Szymanowska (1789-1831): A Bio-Bibliography, Anna E. Kijas
examines the career of the highly-influential Polish pianist and
composer. Kijas focuses on Szymanowska's life from her days as a
young artist to her public concert tours between 1822 and 1828 to
the last three years of her life in St. Petersburg. Kijas examines
the daily aspects of touring, including organizing concerts,
securing transportation and lodging, and managing finances, and she
reviews Szymanowska's reception in the cities in which she
performed, paying attention to her repertoire, the critic's
remarks, ticket prices, and other artists on the program. Separated
into Works, Discography, and Literature, the bibliography lists
more than 100 compositions for piano, voice, and chamber ensemble.
The discography provides details for CD, LP, and cassette
recordings between 1960 and the present, and the literature section
examines more than 120 primary source documents such as
19th-century reviews and advertisements, personal correspondence,
journals, and scrapbooks. Secondary sources include articles,
books, and essays about Szymanowska as a composer and pianist.
Complete with a list of sources and an index, this comprehensive
reference provides insight into the struggles and accomplishments
related to concert life for a professional woman in early
19th-century Europe.
