Abstract
In her seminal book, Gender and the Musical Canon, Marcia Citron
highlights the existence in art of a dichotomy between ‘high’ and ‘low’
culture.1 By the nineteenth century ‘high’ art, in a general sense, had
come to be associated with the masculine and ‘low’ art with the
feminine. Examples of this kind of division may be observed in the
artistic output of both sexes, namely in literature, painting and music.
This generally accepted ideology of ‘high’ culture as masculine and ‘low’
culture as feminine manifested itself in many respects within the
musical world of the nineteenth century.
