Emiliana de Zubeldía
Esta biografía de Emiliana de Zubeldía, destacada pianista y compositora de origen vasco, recoge las voces de alumnos, familiares, amigos, reseñas de sus conciertos, sus escritos y documentos donde plasmó sus planes de enseñanza e ideas de sus maestros, para integrar una historia que ya forma parte de la Universidad de Sonora.

From Paris to Peoria
'Grand Tours' chronicles the American visits of five charismatic pianists - Leopold de Meyer, Henri Herz, Sigismund Thalberg, Anton Rubenstein and Hans von Bülow - during the late 19th century.
Women Composers
Though rarely included in traditional music history, women have a remarkable tradition as composers of Western music. This book brings together musical and biographical material on twenty-five women, from the eleventh through the twentieth centuries. Each chapter focuses on one composer, providing an introduction to her life, an analysis of her music, a checklist of her works, and a bibliography. Extensive appendices include a historical outline showing female composers in relation to their more famous male contemporaries by period and genre, and suggestions for further readings and recordings.
Sounds and Sweet Airs
A companion to the Classic FM series Francesca Caccini. Barbara Strozzi. Élisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre. Marianna Martines. Fanny Hensel. Clara Schumann. Lili Boulanger. Elizabeth Maconchy. Since the birth of classical music, women who dared compose have faced a bitter struggle to be heard. In spite of this, female composers continued to create, inspire and challenge. Yet even today so much of their work languishes unheard. Anna Beer reveals the highs and lows experienced by eight composers across the centuries, from Renaissance Florence to twentieth-century London, restoring to their rightful place exceptional women whom history has forgotten.
Women & Music
The second edition of the “milestone” work of history that focuses on female musicians through the ages (College Music Symposium). This updated, expanded, and reorganized edition of Women and Music features even more women composers, performers, and patrons, even more musical contexts, and an expanded view of women in music outside Europe and North America. A popular university textbook, Women and Music is enlightening for scholars, a good source of programming ideas for performers, and a pleasure for other music lovers.
What Good are the Arts?
