Synopsis
Discover the untold yet inspiring story of Amy Beach, musician extraordinaire and the first successful woman composer in America.
With perfect pitch and fierce persistence, Amy Beach always knew she had to make music. There was just one BIG problem. Her mother believed it was not proper or suitable for a young lady to draw attention to herself, let alone take on a musical career. But give in or give up? Not Amy Beach. She demanded to play the piano. Demanded to have a real teacher. Demanded to perform. Luckily--for the world!--Amy's persistence paid off. At just sixteen years old, Amy Beach found herself on the stage of Boston's Music Hall--and the start of a brilliant career. A female composer who paved the way--perfectly!"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
