Pioneer Violin Virtuose in the Early Twentieth Century - Maud Powell, Marie Hall, and Alma Moodie: A Gendered Re-Evaluation

Informationen zum Autor Tatjana Goldberg started learning the violin in Croatia, and later went to study violin at the Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatoire. In 2016 she was awarded her PhD from City, University of London. She teaches the violin at City, University of London, Middlesex University, the Purcell School, and the Youth Music Centre in London. She has a broad experience as a performer and writer. Zusammenfassung 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. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1. She wants to play the violin!; 2. The 'angelic' counterparts; 3.
