It’s really been a great week for my work on Talma and for #musicologyeverywhere (aka public musicology): first this this review by Nanette Kaplan Solomon of my book Louise Talma: A Life in Composition, and now I’ve just had an email from BBC Radio 3 about it. The broadcaster is producing a series on the women of the MacDowell Colony, and the producer is going to be using my book as the basis for the segment on Talma. I’ll post air dates and times when they become available.

My newest post for W. W. Norton’s The Avid Listener is on British composer and author (and other things) Anthony Burgess’s excellent experimental novel Napoleon Symphony. Enjoy!
Praise for Louise Talma: A Life in Composition
I’m delighted to share this review of my book Louise Talma: A Life in Composition, written by Nanette Kaplan Solomon for the International Alliance for Women in Music Journal, Fall 2015 issue. Here’s her conclusion:
“a groundbreaking, multi-layered, important book for both its creative methodology and its revelatory portrait of one of the towering women of twentieth-century music.”
I’ll take that!
