Nadia Lee

Born in Sofia in 1962, Emile Naoumoff was just five years old when he began studying piano. His parents brought the young prodigy to Paris at the age of seven into the tutelage of Nadia Boulanger, one of the greatest music teachers of the 20th century. Herself a pupil of Gabriel Fauré, she chose Emile to be her final disciple carrying her musical legacy forward, calling him the gift of her old age. Naoumoff’s 10 years studying very intensely with her were both rigorous and nurturing, inspiringly revealing his individual artistic and creative path. That excellence seeking placed Naoumoff into a musical circle of auspicious mentors such as Clifford Curzon, Igor Markevitch, Robert and Gaby Casadesus, Nikita Magaloff, Jean Françaix, Henri Dutilleux, Leonard Bernstein, Soulima Stravinsky, Aram Khachaturian, Sviatoslav Richter and, notably, Lord Yehudi Menhuin, who conducted the premiere of Naoumoff’s first piano concerto when the composer at the piano was just 10 years old.

In questa raccolta, molte fra le più amate e apprezzate scrittrici italiane raccontano altrettante «muse»: donne sfrontate e bellissime o, al contrario, miti e riservate che, per lo spazio di una notte o per l'esistenza intera, hanno stretto relazioni complesse (e pericolose) con uomini di successo. Muse non sempre «gettate» ma per lo più misconosciute - dando così corpo all'odioso detto secondo cui «dietro ogni grande uomo c'è una grande donna» - che tornano dunque, finalmente, al centro del palcoscenico letterario. Le pioniere della psicanalisi e Kate Moss dalle cento copertine, Kiki regina di Montparnasse per una notte e Maria Callas la Divina per sempre, Nadia Krupskaja che lavora a realizzare il socialismo, Rosalind Franklin che scopre la struttura del DNA, le ispiratrici di pittori, musicisti, scrittori, filosofi: spaziando fra epoche e luoghi diversi, destini felici e infelici, Musa e getta giunge al cospetto di leggende viventi, persino sbarcate su Instagram…
