Women and the Piano by Susan Tomes
In this engaging survey of fifty female pianists, Tomes aims to correct a male-centric understanding of piano history from the eighteenth century to the present. Women pianists have long been scrutinized—for playing in a “masculine” style, for their appearances, and for not orienting themselves around family. Through short biographies, Tomes documents the cost of pursuing art. Fanny Mendelssohn allowed her compositions to be published under her brother Felix’s name; Zhu Xiao-Mei continued studying Bach even after being sent to do manual labor during China’s Cultural Revolution. Yet the resounding note is one of passion. As Marguerite Long told her students, “My joy in life is work, because it will never betray you.”
