Woman in Music

by George P. Upton

About this book

George P. Upton considers the influence of women on the lives and work of major composers. After an introductory discussion, biographical chapters follow personal relationships, households and musical partnerships associated with figures including Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert and Schumann.

Letters, anecdotes and portraits connect the composers’ work with the people close to them. This complete revised and enlarged edition of 1886 preserves the original illustrations and the author’s preface, which identifies the earlier edition of 1880.
