Norwegian term or phrase:efter de foreliggende resultater
Newspaper article from 1800s:
"Man er i Regelen, og neppe uden en vis Grad af Berettigelse, lidet tilbøjelig til at tiltro Kvinden den Kraft og Energi, der udforodres for at frembringe et Kunstværk, hvori en selvstændig og almengyldig Individualitet kommer tilsyne, og netop paa Musikens Omraade synes denne det "svage" Kjøns Underlegenhed efter de foreliggende Resultater i højere Grad at gjøre sig gjældende end inden nogen anden Kunstretning."
What does this phrase mean here? Which results are being referred to?
Explanation: At risk of political incorrectness of a high magnitude, I have this to offer: "One is generally, and hardly without due cause, less inclined to entrust Woman with the power and energy required to produce a work of art, wherein a self-sufficient and general individualiy alights, and particularly in the arena of music, this inferiority of the 'weaker' sex appears, according to the demonstrated results, to be more applicable than in any other discipline of the arts."
Harsh words indeed - but on a list of the world's 100 top composers of all time, how many are females?
Just a guess - do the results encompass the "kunstverk"?
