Women and the Piano A History in 50 Lives by Susan Tomes

Women are an essential part of the history of the piano—but how many women pianists can you name?

Throughout most of the piano's history, women pianists lacked access to formal training and were excluded from male-dominated performance spaces.

Imagine being able to just sit down and play scores on your piano! 🎹

A lack of talent and a misspent youth keep this dream far out of reach for me, but I love that these books get published ♥️

Maybe one day…

Saw Jeremy Denk twice at Wigmore Hall, once for his Goldbergs, the other for his survey of piano music covering about 800 years. Both programmes made it to CD. Now reading his memoir. 💿🎹📖 @bookstodon

I know this might seem an odd request, but I'd like to celebrate the removal of my first novel's edition from . It was published by a now-defunct small press that went out of business in early 2019 and orphaned a lot of books, so if anybody had bought the Kindle edition of Without Bloodshed since then I wouldn't have gotten paid.

The only reason my 2013 debut is still on Amazon is that secondhand print copies are available for sale. Now I can go full if I want.

@PaxAsteriae I will have to wait a few hours before I can break out the bubbly. I've got lessons after work and I need to be able to drive.
