About

Until recently, Maddalena Lombardini Sirmen was recognized mainly as a violin pupil of Giuseppe Tartini. After years of extensive research, Elsie Arnold and Jane Baldauf-Berdes prove the inaccuracy of this depiction. A composer in her own right, Sirmen was also an astute businesswoman who efficiently managed her own life, concert engagements, and finances. This volume is a necessary addition to music and women's studies collections alike.

Reviews

A fine example of the best of current musicological research, this volume will be useful to upper-division undergraduates and above
