Talk:The Maud Powell Signature, Women in Music

Untitled
This entry, which I am adding back after having been deleted (because of low viz on google), is a start article that, over time, will strengthen. The entry is worthy for several reasons; namely, it clarifies the source of inline (albeit still unlinked) citations that refer to it. The publication is produced by bona fide musicologists and scholars who, on their own merits, are notable in publishing of scholarly works on classical music. The article strengthens wikipedia's portfolio of classical music entries and is a strong resource for researchers of women in music. My sense is that topic is not of the self-promotion ilk. Admittedly, the publication has had continuity problems (9-year hiatus); but that does not diminish the value of the content of the issues that have been published. This article likely is of low value for the mainstream, but might be of high value for researchers and editors, particularly wikipedia editors covering classical music. I urge skeptical wikipedia editors to treat this article &mdash; and articles like it that relate to fine arts in non-popular, low revenue genres &mdash; with a relaxed, lenient, and even supportive esprit de corps.

 * The article is not about an organization; it is about a magazine that publishes remarkably in-depth articles about women in classical music. The magazine is notable, important, and useful as sources for musicologists, historians, and women's study researchers.


 * As stated by the IAWM Journal, the publication has become an international clearing house of information and resources on women in music (Maud Powell, IAWA Journal, Volumes 7, Nos. 1 & 2, pg. 5 (2001) ).  The publication is reviewed in numerous other publications, including Strings (magazine) (Vol 10, pg. 9, 1995).  It is also listed in the Sourcebook for Research in Music; Second Edition, by Phillip D. Crabtree and Donald H. Foster, Indiana University Press, Bloomington (2005) ISBN 0253314763.
