Gender, Age and Musical Creativity (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This collection takes an interdisciplinary approach to issues of identity and its representation, examining intersections of age and gender in relation to music and musicians across a wide range of periods and places. Drawing together the work of musicologists and practitioners, it offers new ways in which to conceptualise the complex links between age and gender in both individual and collective practice and their reception: essays explore juvenilia and 'late' style in composition and performance, the role of institutions in fostering and sustaining creative activity throughout musical careers, and the ways in which genres and scenes themselves age over time.
