Sommario/riassunto

Pioneers in their fields and two of the best-known women in music in the twentieth century, Nadia and Lili Boulanger have only previously been considered in isolation from one another. Yet, as Caroline Potter's new book demonstrates, their careers were closely linked during Lili's short life (1893-1918) and there are several intriguing connections between their musical works.
