Rosamond McGuinness
Rosamond McGuinness (4 December 1929 – 16 March 2012, London) was an American music historian.
McGuinness was born in Bridgeport, Connecticut. She came from a Jewish family, her father, Howard Cohan being a dentist, and her mother Adelaide Zeigler being a music teacher. In 1947 she attended Vassar College where she studied music. However the prospects of a career as a concert pianist disappeared after an eye disease left her partially blind in 1950.[1]
She married twice, first to Brian McGuinness, the philosopher and later to George Biddlecombe.[1]
