{"product_id":"hensel-benedict-taylor-9781316513842","title":"Hensel: String Quartet in E Flat","description":"The String Quartet in E flat major (1834) by Fanny Hensel, n馥 Mendelssohn, is one of the most important works by a female composer written in the nineteenth century. Composed at a turning point in her life (as Hensel was not only grappling with her own creative voice but also coming to terms with her identity as a married woman, and the role her family expected of her), the quartet is significant in showing a woman composing in a genre that was then almost exclusively the domain of male artists. Benedict Taylor's illuminating book situates itself within developing scholarly discourse on the music of women composers, going beyond apologetics - or condemnation of those who hindered their development - to examine the strength and qualities of the music and how it responded to the most progressive works of the period.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Benedict Taylor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 131651384X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781316513842\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.38d","brand":"Benedict Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44790196076799,"sku":"9781316513842","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b9de3b5b-c6a7-4a8c-9dc1-d67f95727594.jpg?v=1707288231","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hensel-benedict-taylor-9781316513842","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
