1. Henriëtte Bosmans: Dutch pianist and composer. Daughter of two musicians. Studied piano with her mother. Bosmans became a piano teacher at 17. Later, became a huge pianist around Europe.
Would recommend: Piano Concerto (it& #39;s actually easier to find her works on YouTube!)

Not historically checked I guess but: She was bi, had a briefly marriage with a male artist and even wrote some compositions for a french singer she liked (I know this fact is super random but let& #39;s take a moment to appreciate her even more)

2. Rosy Wertheim: one of the first Dutch women composers who completed a professional music education and gained international acclaim. She was also rly involved in social causes (kinda like Ethel Smyth). Was a teacher at Amsterdam Music Lyceum.
Would recommend: Sonatine

3. Elfrida Andrée: swedish organist, composer and conductor. Was one of the first female organists to be officially appointed in Scandinavia. Elected to the Royal Swedish Academy of Music!
Would recommend: Organ Symphony N.2 and Piano Quartet

4. Laura Valborg: Swedish pianist, teacher, organist and composer. She often collaborated with her brother through performances. When she was at a conservatory, she was the only woman to enroll in the class for composition
Would recommend: Sonata in F minor and string quartet

Since Spotify is lacking on women in classical, here& #39;s the two recommend pieces on YouTube

https://youtu.be/pijL7Y8yM... href="">https://youtu.be/dtmeec-8E...

5. Mathilda D& #39;Orozco: She was so many things that I can& #39;t list all of them (but especially composer)! Was a singer, sometimes accompanied her singing by playing the harp. Appeared at festive entertainments/salons as a singer/ composer.
Would recommend: Romanza and Axels Monolog

Again, Spotify lacking on women of classical so:

6. Emilie Meyer: German composer and pianist. Her works were on the romantic style. Was the Associate Director of the Opera Academy in Berlin. She performed a lot through Europe and was popular acclaimed.
Would recommend: Symphony 1&2 and Notturno

7. Luise Reichardt: German composer. Learned how to write music mostly on her own. She used to conduct choirs, but, couldn& #39;t do this in public since at her time, women conducting wasn& #39;t really "acceptable"
Would recommend: Sei Canzioni di Metastasio

8. Rosario Marciano: was a pianist, musicologist and composer. Gave her first solo concerto at 6 years, and concerto with orchestra at 9. Was among the first pianists to record on historic pianos (fortepianos)

You have no idea the lack of information about her I couldn& #39;t even find a proper picture, seriously, it& #39;s crazy and sad.. Nevertheless, here& #39;s a recording of her playing a piece from Schubert https://youtu.be/8IsZgWD7TZ8 ">https://youtu.be/8IsZgWD7T...

9. Maria Corley: pianist, composer and teacher. Gave her first public performance at 8 years. Since then, she has performed as a soloist and collaborated with many ppl! Aside from that, she& #39;s also an author! (What a talented queen huh)
Would recommend: 12 Etudes

The playlist of the thread and the other pieces that aren& #39;t on Spotif I& #39;ve already put the links above! Spotify really lacks sometimes :c so go check them on YouTube, there& #39;s way more recordings. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7M73TM7xSK6Hp5lpPpPXV7?si=QaVoql18TUWNZj3rOgTfzw">https://open.spotify.com/playlist/...

Women in classical pt.3 -

Again, I& #39;m not a musician or musicologist so, you can feel free to correct me!

So, that& #39;s the end of this whole "series". I wouldn& #39;t imagine that y& #39;all would be so supportive about it (the first part especially) it made me extremely happy to see y& #39;all excited meeting the history of those queens. Thank u so much, so so so much seriously

Please, don& #39;t stop here. Continue to search for the women in classical, it& #39;s hard finding works by them but that& #39;s only because they don& #39;t get the recognition they deserve, so please, go support them. Let& #39;s show the world that classical women composers exist
