Beschreibung:
Tanja Goldberg reveals the extent to which gender and socially constructed identity influenced female violinists' 'separate but unequal' status in a great male-dominated virtuoso lineage, by focussing on the few that stood out. Goldberg provides a more complete picture of their artistic achievements and the impact they had on audiences.
1. She wants to play the violin!; 2. The 'angelic' counterparts; 3. Maud Powell: I must carry a message as long as I am able; 4. Marie Pauline Hall: transcending limitations; 5. Alma Moodie: from praise to oblivion; 6. Virtuose's shared experiences towards the hall of fame
