  • Descrição: At the end of World War I, Ethel Smyth's life changed. In the chaotic aftermath of war, she learned in the act of relocating her music with publishers in London that some of her scores in Vienna had disappeared and may have been lost. As she tried to come to terms with the symbolic loss of her hard-won career and musical identification with Germany and German music, she recognized the need to reposition herself in English music and musical society. She accepted that if her hearing loss progressed and made deafness inevitable, she would have to recast herself more as a writer than a musician "by simply replacing the music-nib of her pen with another sort of nib." Here, Wood talks about the onset and progression of Smyth's hearing disorder and deafness and discusses the nature and implications of her diminished auditory experience with reference to new findings in neuroscience, sound study and auditory theory.
