Resum:
The research work I have done has focused on women composers, performers and orchestra conductors. I have made a historical and sociological analysis of women and their musical contribution in these musical fields from the beginning of female musical participation to the present. I think it is very important to know where we come from to decide where we want to keep going. In the 20th century, musicology began to study women in the history of music and soon the need arose to restore our musical life to the legacy of these artists. Soon they realized that their concert programs offered a parallel history of the music of each era, from classicism to contemporary music, through romanticism or historical avant-gardes. These composers were totally immersed in the musical language of their respective ages, were actually artists of their time. Although I think there has been a breakthrough in terms of equality and opportunities, there is still a small number of women who are dedicated to orchestral composition and / or conduction, nor are they in manual classrooms that include bright Composers, pedagogues, performers ... that have been throughout history. There is still an insignificant number of works composed by women or women who lead the most prestigious orchestras in the world. The musical language itself has lot of allusions to the female sex.
