This book is a paradoxical endeavour. It composes a new way of thinking about the absence of women’s music in the concert hall but, in the liberal feminist sense, it does not find ‘a solution’. Instead, it discovers new potentialities, new possibilities for thought and action. With the assistance of Deleuze, it begins the important work of imagining what else might be possible, not in order to provide answers but to open up the as yet unknown. The power of thought – or what Deleuze calls the ‘virtual’– releases new possibilities. Such an idea imagines that the future for women’s ‘new’ music is not tied to the predictable and known but to futures beyond the already-known.
