A groundbreaking collection of essays in feminist music criticism, this book addresses problems of gender and sexuality in repertoires ranging from the early seventeenth century to rock and performance art. â€œ. . . this is a major book . . . [McClaryâ€™s] achievement borders on the miraculous.â€ The Village Voiceâ€œNo one will read these essays without thinking about and hearing music in new and interesting ways. Exciting reading for adventurous students and staid professionals.â€ Choiceâ€œFeminine Endings, a provocative â€˜sexual politicsâ€™ of Western classical or art music, rocks conservative musicology at its core. No review can do justice to the wealth of ideas and possibilities [McClaryâ€™s] book presents. All music-lovers should read it, and cheer.â€ The Womenâ€™s Review of Books"McClary writes with a racy, vigorous, and consistently entertaining style. . . . What she has to say specifically about the music and the text is sharp, accurate, and telling; she hears what takes place musically with unusual sensitivity."-The New York Review of Books
