Greetings,
I'm currently writing a paper for a women, gender and music class and I was wondering if any one could help me. Basically my paper looks at the compositions of female marimbists and compares them to compositions of males as well as the performability of gender on the marimba. I am particularly looking at the works of Keiko Abe versus works like Merlin (Andrew Thomas) and Velocities (Joseph Schwantner). Also I want to focus on Nancy Zeltsman, Keiko Abe and E. Glennie to contrast their styles of performance.
Does anyone know why there are so many more female Japanese marimba players as apposed to male Japanese marimbists? Can anyone comment on any male or female marimba performances that they have seen/played in the past that stood out in the area of gender performance?
Does anyone know how many men (and how many women) perform marimba professionally full time.
Also any comments on my paper topic or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Christopher
