Book Synopsis
Why are so few women composers known to the general public and even fewer of their works studied and performed? More than one musicologist told the author that they are not famous enough to be considered! So then, can a woman who studied with Boulanger and Messiaen, who won the coveted Paris Conservatory Prize in Composition, who received the highest awards her country can bestow, and who produced some of the finest teaching musicians on the globe qualify as famous? This book is about one who can and does: Erzsébet Szonyi, a Hungarian Renaissance woman, who, in spite of a repressive regime's attempts to contain her, ended up wielding an international artistic and pedagogical influence.
Readers interested in music education, women's and family studies, Kodály studies, Classical education, theory and composition, musicology, creative processes, educational psychology, and the history and sociology of pre- and postwar Central Europe will find A Tear in the Curtain: The Musical Dip
