Nadia was the woman on which most of 20th-century music spun -- would the century have been half of what it was without her? She should get her own chapter, and I'm sure Stravinsky, Bernstein, and Copland would agree.The Watchtowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14326472303754993250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10680113.post-22896280390680860192007-10-25T14:33:00.000-05:002007-10-25T14:33:00.000-05:00I haven't finished Noise but I agree you've indica...I haven't finished <I>Noise</I> but I agree you've indicated a serious flaw; Ross writes eloquently about composers (including AFrican-Americans like Will Marion Cook) he calls "invisible men," but women remain largely unseen.

Have any of the other reviewers mentioned this?<BR/><BR/>I already have an idea of what I will think the other major omission is, well, not exactly an omission.Lisa Hirschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014924958428072675noreply@blogger.com
