Subject: maestra?



Anyone care to take up this question (culled from another list)?

Anyway, it's fun talking about it. We have a "Master" here with our

symphony. She is JoAnn Falletta. She is called "Maestro" but shouldn't she

be called "Mistress?" Or perhaps with a feminine ending to the

Italian..."Maestra."
