| Do you also have a huge genus-perspective discussion in the states as we do here in europe?(at least here in Sweden)
The government recently did a orchetra investigation, wich came to the somewhat bizarre conclusion that to much of the orchestras repertoires was written between 1700 and 1890, were written by male compsers, and conducted by men.
They also reported that the Beethoven 5 (as an example) was played far to many times(in percentage) in comparison to modern works!
I'm not sure wether I read in it about quotation for male / female orchestra musicians, it can just as well have ben a nightmare of my own, so that will be unsaid
But you see where it's going.
Is the situation similar across the pond?
All the best!
