Description
The historiography of music in Greece, dating back to the late 19th century, has been profoundly shaped by the significant contributions of women such as Athina Seremeti (late 19th–early 20th century), Avra Theodoropoulou (1880–1963), and Kaiti Romanou (1939–2020). Each of these scholars introduced groundbreaking advancements to music historiography: Seremeti was the first to translate a comprehensive history of European art music into Greek (1888), Theodoropoulou authored the first inclusive history of both Western and Greek art music in Greek (1924), and Romanou provided an extensive and in-depth analysis of the history of Greek art music from the end of the Middle Ages to the present (2000). Their contributions acquire greater significance when viewed in relation to the broader evolution of music historiography in the Greek language. This paper employs critical textual analysis and historical contextualization as key methodological approaches. Additionally, it incorporates perspectives from gender studies to examine the motivations behind, and the impact of, the work of women music historians in Greece.
