Samenvatting:

This book offers a vital contribution to the study of women in classical music, focusing on composer Maria Hester Park. It addresses a significant gap in scholarship on late 18th- and early 19th-century women composers, examining Park’s life, keyboard works, influence within London’s cultural milieu, and professional networks within a male-dominated musical world. The book explores her performances, engagement with subscription publishing, and the societal expectations shaping female musical accomplishments, encouraging a broader recognition of women’s artistic legacies from this period.
