Description
Was the golden age of the piano that of a defeat for female composers? If they occupied an important place in ancient and baroque music, the bourgeois society which emerged from the Enlightenment limited their access to the conservatory and to the quarry. Marie-Catherine Girod explores this key moment, and reveals to us the talent of the resistance fighters of the classical and romantic periods, and of the first modernism. Both names history has retained, such as Fanny Mendelssohn or Clara Schumann, andr composers she is rediscovering it today. Track List: Disc: 1 1. Farrenc: Les Italiennes Op.14 - Cavatina No.1 2.
