Since women were the primary benefactors of music lessons in nineteenth-century America, why are there so few recognized women composers from that era, especially considering that their teachers were highly educated European masters?
What will be an ideal response?
While women were the recipients of music education from master teachers, they were being educated primarily as performers for in-home social entertainment. The "proper lady" was expected to be able to play the piano to entertain guests, for example. The purpose of music education for these women was not to create composers, which was considered a male role at this time.
