I've just (Oct 2010) moved this back to Nicola LeFanu, after spelling was erroneously "corrected" to Nicola Le Fanu in January August 2010. Citations confirming LeFanu as the correct spelling: her personal webpage, University listing, and publishers. --Pit-trout (talk) 02:14, 13 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
I can understand the mistake, though (see below: grandparents - e.g. Thomas Le Fanu - and great-grandparents used Le Fanu.) Still, you're quite right! Schissel | Sound the Note! 22:46, 9 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
Heard on streaming Adagio.fm (http://hd.adagio.fm:80)
Current title: Nicola Lefanu: Catena for Eleven Solo Strings (Goldberg Ensemble, Malcom Layfield) - (20:26)
Sounds atonal, but pretty. I wonder how she came to compose atonally?
Eleven Solo Strings is a funny title. I like her.

Well, some of her mother's music is somewhere between Bartók and nontonality to begin with, judging from the string quartets, though the latter's opera (Héloise et Abélard, in a 1978 broadcast just issued on Lyrita CD) is more tonal. And "11 Solo Strings" is descriptive, just as Chamber Symphony "for 15 Solo Instruments" (in translation from Schoenberg's German?)... is descriptive...

Her (paternal) great-grandfather's brother is (was) Sheridan Le Fanu. (William --> Thomas --> William Richard --> William Richard's brother = Sheridan.) Schissel | Sound the Note! 22:41, 9 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
