Description

This book aims to open a space for feminist music criticism by exploring how music is informed by matters of gender and sexualty and how music as a medium informs notions of gender and the erotic. The title refers to the common theoretical term for weak cadences and various other technical distinctions, as well as to the central theme of the book: the treatment of the "feminine" in the standard narrative schemata of Western music. - from Amzon
