David Mooney, The pursuit of ultimate expression: the works of Poldowski (Lady Irene Dean Paul) 1879-1932
Volumes, pp.: 1 (338pp.)
Repository (hard copy): UCD Library
General specialism: Musicology
Abstract:
This research provides a complete catalogue of the music (including unpublished works) of Poldowski (1879-1932), the pseudonym of the Anglo-Polish composer Lady Irene Dean Paul, youngest daughter of the celebrated violinist Henryk Wieniawski, and considers their contribution to the genre of fin-de-siecle composition. The stylistic development of the works is examined to ascertain the influence of the composer's contemporaries in France such as Faure, Debussy and Ravel. Her role as a female composer is considered with particular emphasis on her cultivation of a feminine (rather than feminist) aesthetic.
