  • Woman's Work in Music by Arthur Elson – Part 07
    Dec 1 2025

    I don’t know why I dropped this book over a year ago, maybe it was all the French names? So apologies in advance about the pronunciations as you get ready for sleep and we pick up learning about significant French women who were composers in the 19th century.

    We then move on to the USA and learn of the many notable female composers there.
