I knew nothing of this lady till reading this excellent piece. The quotatons from her regrading herself and her work are instructive. Reading the descriptions of some of her compositions I am reminded a bit of the 'salon music' of Cécile Chaminade, but I could be way off beam here. I shall find out over the months and years.
This is fascinating - a wonderful portrait of her younger days - the sense of her busily creating, rehearsing and performance a huge variety of things... finding her way on stage, despite it not being her passion, and then her voice as a composer... I am looking forward to singing more of her work
