Abstract Details

2017, Doctor of Musical Arts, Ohio State University, Music.
Much research has been done on the history and development of the clarinet, including the lives and works of early clarinetists in Europe and America. For mostly sociocultural reasons, the majority of early clarinetists were men. While the possibility exists that there may have been more women clarinetists during early time period, current research has identified only a handful. The underrepresentation of women in the standard clarinet history stems both from restrictions on their participation as well as poor documentation of their activities. Given the lack of diversity in clarinet history, the purpose of this research is to promote awareness of the roles, experiences, and achievements of the women involved in the clarinet history during the nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries, many of whom may have unfortunately gone unrecognized, been discounted, or forgotten. This research first provides a historical overview of the clarinet and its players, as well as history of women in music and their relationships with orchestral instruments. There are four chapters, which present biographies of women clarinetists who were active as soloists, orchestral players, teachers, and composers. This document also includes research regarding the all-women orchestras in Europe and America, and provides information focusing on the clarinetists of the American all-women orchestras. There are three appendices. Appendix A contains a compendium of selected women clarinetists and their contributions from the earliest documented to present, including, where applicable first name, maiden name, married name, published name or pseudonyms, dates, regions, achievements and contributions such as compositions, commissions, dedications, publications, discographies. Appendix B contains an all-inclusive chronology of clarinet history including both men and women discussed in this research. Appendix C contains portraits and photographs of women clarinetists discussed in this research. In addition to recounting the history of women clarinetists, this research aims to become a resource for a retrospective study of women clarinetists and a source of inspiration for clarinet enthusiasts of all genders.
