>If women are good musicians
But they aren't

Clara Schumann is waifu tier

>Grimeth
>That bitch that plays the harp
>Uhhh...

because back in the days women were not allowed to do music

Come on, women are weaker than men. Is it any harder to assume they're less intelligent, too?

Most early electronic/musique concrete artists are women. You obviously just started listening to music/listen to only one genre.

Good musician ≠ good composer
For example, the musician behind pet sound are god-tier musician but they didn't write a thing, start with that.

>there's no famous female composers?
Nico, janis Joplin and joni mitchell are very famous desu.
Lisa germano it's not so famous but he is a great songwriter tho

Mozart's sister Maria Anna AKA "Nannerl" was fairly famous

I also forget bjork.

Björk, Nico, Kate Bush?

>electronic/musique concrete

Good bait, very authentic.

...

This whole chart only holds on Nico.

what does that even mean

Yoko Shimomura

bjork

This

They really weren't.

You might have gotten someone with that bait but to suggest a JAPANESE woman has made anything of worth is going too far

I believe he's implying that the only good musician there is Nico

???

well then he's dead wrong

Sheena Ringo
Ichiko Aoba

>Most early electronic/musique concrete artists are women.

No they aren't you dumb bitch. Most of the early guys were old French and German men.

Ever think we kept them from doing it?

No, not really

And Italians.

>no famous female composers

Who is Hildegard Von Bingen?

>le female musicians didn't get noticed for thousands of years because they were opressed
>le women were making equally good music all along but the patriarchy kept them down

I don't even consider myself sexist but thhat is bullshit. the fact is that men are just better at making music (and art in general). men are more artistically inclined and care more about art.

Bullshit. If it was true it would be for good reason.

That's actually a good question.
Who the fuck is that.

ok, probably it was not forbidden, but highly unusual

>people replying to this shit-tier b8

>unzips dick

She composed many of the greatest pieces in Gregorian Chant, which was usually sung during Mass and other Western Christian rituals.

Plaestrina composed many more, and many which are far greater in my opinion

Von Bingen's monophonic snooze fest doesn't get close to this divine fire.

Nice

>monophonic snooze fest
>divine fire

heehee, that got a chuckle out of me

That is some nice stuff, tho

Any specific recording I should listen to? I'm really digging this.

*Palestrina
my b famiglia. point still stands though.

Here's a modern female composer that's pretty decent

Cambridge singers are pretty decent
Here take some tasty Sicut cervus

The only difference is that there was no affirmative action or equality myth back in the day. Wealthy women have always had the most leisure time and the most privileges in European civilisation, but they still don't accomplish anything.

Gubaidulina > 90% of canonical male composers

?? You're comparing a medieval composer to a renaissance composition, obviously the latter is going to be more sophisticated

Insufferably retarded post, no one is saying they were ever making equally good music, the point is they couldn't for societal reasons pursue composition like men could

Then shut up instead of spouting bullshit.

>they couldn't for societal reasons pursue composition like men could

what were these "societal reasons" that apparently existed for thousands of years?

>Joni Mitchell
>Bjork
>Joanna Newsom
>Kate Bush
>Nico
>Regina Spektor
>Carole King
>Fiona Apple
>Julia Holter

>Erykah Badu
>Grace Jones

>Saying there are no good female composers/songwriters
>Being this much of a pleb

shut up pleb

>thousands of years

Incredible.

what a fucking pleb you are (and that's certainly not because you appreciate Palestrina)

Laurel Halo

>famous
Yes, that's exactly how you judge quality, retard.
