Most famously, in Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth Bennet’s tasteful renderings contrast with the highly studied yet socially inapp…
The Cambridge Companion to Amy Beach
Amy Beach was a pathbreaking composer and pianist who transcended the restrictions of nineteenth-century Boston to become America's most famous turn-of-the-century female composer and, later in her career, a prominent performing artist and promoter of music education.
