IN THIS ARTICLE, THE AUTHOR CRITICISES WORKS BY FEMALE COMPOSERS, DESCRIBING THEM AS A "WASTE OF RESOURCES" AND LAMENTING THE "UNDER CHALLENGING OF THE ORCHESTRA".
SHE WRITES: " AT THE DONAUESCHINGER MUSIKTAGE, A FEW GOOD WORKS HAD TO ASSERT THEMSELVES AGAINST A LOT OF RUBBISH. AND UNFORTUNATELY, THE COMPARISON OF INTELLIGENCE TURNS OUT UNFAVOURABLY FOR THE COMPOSING WOMEN. " (FREE TRANSLATION BY THE COMPOSER; ORIGINAL: BEI DEN DONAUESCHINGER MUSIKTAGEN MUSSTEN SICH WENIGE GUTE WERKE GEGEN VIEL MURKS BEHAUPTEN. UND LEIDER GEHT DER INELLIGENZ-VERGLEICH ZU UNGUNSTEN DER KOMPONIERENDEN FRAUEN AUS.")
