What is recorded here
Kathleen Schlesinger is a birthplace in Holywood, County Down, Ireland. Perhaps the house where she entered the world in 1862 still holds the shape of a child's first breath, untouched by time. Maybe her musicologist's ear heard rhythms in ordinary life that others overlooked. Imagine a young girl listening to the world as score, turning noise into meaning before she ever touched a piano.
Why this person is known: British musicologist (1862-1953)
