Women and the Chopin Competition: Breaking Barriers in Classical Music

The piano, a sleek monument of polished wood and ivory keys, holds a curious, often paradoxical, position in music history, especially for women. While offering a crucial outlet for female expression in societies where opportunities were often limited, it also became a stage for complex gender dynamics, sometimes subtle, sometimes stark.

I know there's lots of threads here about the moral issues of getting free sheet music. Many people think it's OK if the composer is long dead. Whatever. Dave Grusin is well and truly alive, folks. And, while I'm sure he's not short of a few bucks, he deserves to get some royalties for his compositions, no?

Strongbad (great name, by the way), if you don't want to spend the money, try learning it from the recording. It may be more hard work, but you'll learn a lot in the process and develop your ears. And the next thing you want to play by ear will be easier. Just a thought.
