The
Pytheas Center for
Contemporary Music notes:
Talma was the first woman
to receive two
Guggenheims, the first
woman elected to the
National Institute of
Arts and Letters (1974),
the first American woman
to have a full-scale
opera performed in
Germany, the first
American to teach at
Fontainebleau, and the
first woman to receive
the Sibelius Medal for
composition. This is only
the highlights of a long
life of composing. Talma
spent a good amount of
time at the MacDowell
Colony, where she wrote
many of her finest works,
including the Violin
Sonata. Having studied
composition with Nadia
Boulanger over 17 summers
in her youth, Talma
dedicated the Sonata to
her former teacher and
long-time friend on the
occasion of Boulanger's
75th birthday. The single
movement reflects Talma's
style in 1962, with more
than a passing nod to
12-tone construction. For
advanced performers.
Duration: 16'.
