As far as I remember, I haven’t yet written a single word about female composers in this blog. This is the mistake that needs to be corrected – perhaps there is not a plenty to choose from (OK, in relation to classical music – nowadays it is simpler), but quite a few names definitely stand apart.
One of my favorites is Louise Farrenc, French composer, teacher and virtuoso pianist. It makes me really happy to know that some of her works are performed even these days. Particularly popular is her chamber music, however no pianist should overpass her etudes. By the following link you will find a great collection of these: Thirty Etudes in All Major and Minor Keys, Op.26. Enjoy!
