    111217 bk WomenPno 03 14/4/07 12:40 Page 12 Notes and Acknowledgements 8.111217 With this volume of the Historical Anthology of Women Pianists, we at last confront the frustrating gaps in the Great Pianists historical record documenting the careers of several of the artists we are including in this series. It is a dilemma ADD born of the place of women in music in general - as we have said, the achievements of women artists in general and women musicians in particular have been shamefully ignored until recently - and the principal reason for this series has been to redress this neglect. Though this neglect thankfully did not include the recording companies that preserved the performances we have discovered in the course of preparing this series, we must apologize in advance for the scanty trail we have so far WOMEN AT THE PIANO discovered for several of the artists included in this volume, and we appeal to our auditors for any information they may be able to share about these artists that has so far not come to our attention. A project of this scope and size requires due diligence and asistance from scholars, collectors and librarians. Since An Anthology of Historic Performances the recordings are rare and scarce, we have relied on many musical colleagues to provide advice, their discerning ears, their extensive collections, and willingness to help in order to preserve and share recordings not commonly heard today. Special thanks go to Peter Bromley, Paolo Zeccara, and to archivist and discographer Michael Gray for Volume 3 making sure that the historical data was accurate.
