For a long time the prejudice has prevailed that women cannot compose, since they allegedly lack the requisite creative talent. It is indeed true that they have been less active in the field of musical composition than their male contemporaries, but reasons for this can be found in the social circumstances of the still recent past. In the late eigtheenth and nineteenth centuries, the ages of the Enlightenment and the highflowering of great achievement in music, women were denied the education and encouragement which would have made possible individual accomplishment beyond the limits of domestic music making. In spite of these hindrances there were highly gifted women who overcame the hurdless and were able to submit their talent for composition to proof. Of course these belonged to the well-to-do middle and upper classes, or were women from musical families who were able to receive a thorough training. This selection, comprising 19 women composers from eight countries, cannot claim to be completely representative, both because there is as yet no systematic catalogue of the autographs and printed editions in archives an libraries and because it is limited to the period from the eighteenth century to the present. Yet the editiors are convinced that the present publication is worthwhile and justified, and that each of the pieces can speak for itself. Women composers have made their way in the face of prejudice and opposition. they will now pursue that way amid a manifest change in society's view of women, and its attitude towards them.

Durant molt temps ha prevalgut el prejudici que les dones no poden compondre, ja que pel que sembla no tenen talent creatiu requisit. De fet, és cert que han estat menys activa en el camp de la composició musical que els seus contemporanis masculins, però raons d'això pot trobar-se en les circumstàncies socials del passat encara recent. Als segles finals de eigtheenth i XIX, les edats de la Il · lustració i la highflowering de grans èxits en la música, les dones se'ls negava l'educació i l'estímul que hauria fet possible l'èxit individual més enllà dels límits de la creació musical domèstica. Malgrat aquests obstacles hi havia dones superdotades que es va sobreposar a la hurdless i van ser capaços de presentar el seu talent per a la composició de la prova. Per descomptat, aquests pertanyien a les classes mitjanes i altes acomodades-fer, o eren dones de famílies musicals que van ser capaços de rebre una formació completa. Aquesta selecció, que comprèn 19 dones compositores de vuit països, no pot pretendre ser completament representatiu, tant perquè no hi ha fins ara cap catàleg sistemàtic dels autògrafs i les edicions impreses en arxius 01:00 biblioteques i perquè es limita al període comprès entre el segle XVIII fins la present. Yet the editiors are convinced that the present publication is worthwhile and justified, and that each of the pieces can speak for itself. Compositors dones s'han obert camí en la cara dels prejudicis i l'oposició. que ara buscaran aquesta manera enmig d'un canvi manifest en opinió de la societat de les dones, i la seva actitud cap a ells.
