About the Book

Since the birth of classical music, women who dared compose have faced a bitter struggle to be heard. Even today, much of their work languishes unheard.

In Sounds and Sweet Airs, Anna Beer reveals the highs and lows experienced by eight female composers across the centuries, from Renaissance Florence to twentieth-century London, restoring to their rightful place exceptional women whom history has forgotten.
