The purpose of this book is to make information about this Dutch composer and her music available in English. Henriëtte Bosmans (1895-1952) enjoyed a varied and active career as a solo and collaborative performer, composer, and music critic. Considered one of the foremost Dutch composers of her day, Bosmans is best regarded for remaining true to her own musical idiom, regardless of whatever compositional techniques were fashionable at the time.
Reviews
“In this work, Dr. Becker provides a sympathetic and scholarly evaluation of Bosmans’ life and music and furnishes a linguistic bridge into her own writings, critical reception…it will facilitate a new hearing for Bosmans’ unique voice among those who sought to challenge the traditional gender roles of women.”

“Dr. Becker’s book will bring attention to and provide an awareness to English readers of a woman performer and composer who has largely and unfortunately been overlooked by recent scholarship.”
