Saariaho is also the first woman to have had two operas performed at the Met, when "Innocence" got there in April. I am hoping that Gabriela Lena Frank and Missy Mazzoli, both of whom have operas there this year, will have second, third, fourth operas at the Met.
The repertoire listed was culled from over 40 years' worth of diligently researched, easy to find lists (both massive and specialized), then re-arranged into 15 or more practical, straightforward groupings of repertoire (symphonic; chamber, etc). I then added links to online listening sites and scores. Contemporay pieces are mostly exluded, as they are known about and played. I have added additional works, and continue to do so. Original sources are fully credited.
Getting this repertoire programmed is an entirely separate endeavor : Please help as you can
by suggesting to your local symphonies, chamber groups, etc.

Happy birthday!
Happy birthday! Please let us know how the "Dear Lara" premier is received.
Here’s what I can contribute : a practical, easy to use website I recently published online.
It includes women, Black, Hispanic, South American and other overlooked classical music composers, mostly from previous centuries.

Your latter statements remind me of “A Room of One’s Own”.
I want you to pick apart the Rex Reed obit, in the NYT today. Virulent sexist.
