Virginia Biddle (December 17, 1910 – February 21, 2003)[1] was an American revue performer, showgirl, and former nude model. She was a regular performer in Florenz Ziegfeld's Follies shows for several years until 1931.[2]

In July 1931, Biddle sustained burns to her feet and ankles in the explosion of Harry Richman's yacht, the Chavalmar II.[2][3][4] Her friend and fellow cast member in the 1931 Follies, Helen Walsh, was killed.[5] Although she played the benefit performance of the Follies in Walsh's memory, Biddle ended her career on the stage in the wake of the accident, and her injuries also forced her to abandon dancing. She sued Richman for $50,000 damages but received only $50.[2]

Biddle married twice and had three children, later forging a career as a realtor in Old Saybrook, Connecticut.[2][6] In 2003, she suffered injuries in a car accident and died shortly afterwards.[6]

Pitch class space

The chromatic circle, the outer level of Lerdahl's model of pitch-class space In music theory, pitch-class space is the circular space representing all the notes (pitch classes) in a musical octave. In this space, there is no distinction between tones separated by an integral number of octaves. For example, C4, C5, and C6, though different pitches, are represented by the same point in pitch class space. Since pitch-class space is a circle, we return to our starting point by taking a series of...
