They were six academic fugitives from prestigious universities and elite private academies--Connor, Petra, Russell, Octavia, Iain, and Taleah--ronin child prodigies and castaway geniuses too smart for the traditional higher educational system. For Connor Randall, it is the great intellectual challenge he has been seeking his entire life. But there are secrets."Why me? It was this question that made me certain that there had to be a secret plan. But long before then I noticed things that should have been kept hidden." In the beginning, there is an absence of turbulence. Underlying instabilities appear. Flaws in the system are revealed. The second law of thermodynamics law mandates that in closed systems, chaos always prevails. But even in light of this ultimate tendency, small salvations are available within the process. In the end, however, the entire system, finally overtaken by entropy, has to collapse, and the implications are catastrophic.

This volume presents fifteen musicological perspectives on the creativity of women composers and the question of 'femininity' in Southeastern-European musical cultures from 1918 on. In the questions about and beyond a 'female aesthetics', socio-cultural approaches to the lives of creative women prove to be indispensable for contemporary musicological gender research, because highly complex facts of musical life and social realities in political systems cannot be separated from each other. By this means the exclusion and marginalization of women composers in the national and international music establishment, as well as strategies for overcoming these systems, are made visible and brought to consciousness. This volume therefore focusses on the social, cultural, and biological preconditions of cultural action, and intends to arouse curiosity for multi-layered realities; it aims to increase the reception of the compositional oeuvre of women composers from Southeastern Europe by the global music scene, the musicological discourse, and an engaged audience.
