Musik ist (auch) Frauensache

Why do we know Mozart, Beethoven, and Bach—but hardly any of the women who have shaped music history just as much?

In this personal and empowering book, Esther Abrami tells the story of her life between the violin, the stage, the pressure to perform, and social media—and in doing so, rediscovers the fascinating stories of forgotten female composers and musicians from the Middle Ages to the present day.

From Hildegard von Bingen to Clara Schumann and Pauline Viardot, all the way to contemporary female artists, Esther Abrami weaves together music history with her own daily life as a young musician in a digital world filled with expectations, competition, and the pressure to be seen. The book explores passion, ambition, self-doubt, beauty, career, family, and just how difficult—yet at the same time important—it is for a woman to carve out her own place in the art world.

Yet Abrami doesn’t write in the dry, factual style of a textbook; instead, her writing is direct, honest, and approachable. This book brings classical music to life, making it emotional and utterly relevant—even for people who previously thought classical music had nothing to do with their lives.
