Provides convenient access to a body of solo, recital, concerto,
and chamber music literature that will enrich the repertoire of the
violinist. Includes a biographies section which briefly summarizes
the life and work of women composers from the Baroque to 20th
century American and International. The music section identifies
and describes compositions in 12 genre categories. The discography
organizes recorded works by composer and by title. Reference and
Research Book News This bibliography enhances the repertoire of the
violinist by providing convenient access to a new solo recital,
concerto, and chamber music literature: the music of women
composers. While other source books exist in which some of this
information could be found, it is often incomplete or in such
abundance that selection is difficult. This well-organized
bibliography will not only simplify the process of obtaining such
information, but it represents a valuable contribution to the
relatively new study of the musical compositions of women. Violin
Music by Women Composers is divided into three main sections:
Biographies, Music, and Discography. Preceding these is a general
alphabetical index to all the composers included in the work, with
reference to information on them contained in the three main
sections following. The Biographies section is divided among five
eras beginning with Baroque and concluding with Twentieth Century
International. The second section of the book, Music, is organized
in twelve genre categories in which composers are entered
alphabetically along with the titles of their compositions.
Wherever possible, information is provided on date of composition,
publisher and/or source, and duration; often with additional
comments included. Library sources are given for manuscripts and
for published music that is out of print; otherwise, a current
publisher is listed. The Discography section organizes recorded
works alphabetically by composer, then alphabetically by title.
This section also includes a directory of recording companies. The
volume concludes with a bibliography and references. Violin Music
by Women Composers is a unique, up-to-date, and thoughtfully
organized resource. Exploring its contents will certainly inform
and add to the repertoire of violinists and their presenters.
