Rebecca Clarke

[edit]

For the record, it is known fact that Rebecca Clarke declared that she had been Stanford's first female composition pupil at the Royal College of Music, a misconception that is still being corrected. "I was the only girl student [Stanford] ever had." (Stated by Clarke in interviews conducted by Ellen D. Lerner in 1978 and 1979, reprinted in A Rebecca Clarke Reader, edited by Liane Curtis, 2005) "That I was the only woman [Stanford] had accepted was a source of great pride to me...". (Quoted in Liane Curtis "Rebecca Clarke; A Case of Identity, Musical Times, May 1996) "And I was his only girl pupil." (stated in an interview with Robert Sherman in 1976). Sherman notes that Clarke "seems not to have been aware of her predecessors" and then lists Ramsay and Scott. OwenBrooke (talk) 17:48, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
