FROM ALBUM NOTES BY GIAN-LUCA PETRUCCI:
In the vast and complex music history, the female figure was generally limited in a sort of obligatory structure that allowed a little chance of affirmation.
The women musicians could aspire to be refined performers, pleasant talents, composers with a public of devoted admirers in the domestic sphere. Rarely something more professional could increase the quality and quantity of their works in relation to the rapid development of the lexicon of the period.
For these reasons, the work of Anna Bon, a mysterious and fascinating character of the Europe of the great courts, appears extraordinary.
Daughter of the famous Venetian architect, scenographer and painter Girolamo Bon and the Bolognese singer Rosa Ruvinetti, Anna has no biographical records except those taken from the frontispieces of the three works that she had the honor to publish between 1756 and 1759.
