Classical Women Composers: Four Women who are awesome and underrated

[@mateusvahl5072]

I was thinking about this last week..."I don't know any women who played piano historically", It's good to know that women had participation on piano < 3

[@alexmwesa]

Google Mozart and his sister

[@hydrolito]

Debbie Gibson played the piano but she was not classical.

[@KirbyAmour]

Thank you for this! I'm teaching my daughter about classical music in homeschool and today she asked me why we haven't studied any women. This helped a lot! THANK YOU!

[@keithtinkler4073]

Clara Schumann introduced playing complete pieces from memory in concerts - from age 15 - what option did the men have but to match her!

[@KeepingOnTheWatch]

For me Hildegard von Bingen is the most fascinating. After watching this video I looked up her music and listened to 'Canticles of Ecstasy'. A musician and scientist - she was like a lit candle in a rather dark world back then. She was born in the wrong era. Hearing how she would tell men that her abilities were God-given in order to be accepted by them gave me a chuckle - she was both intelligent and humorous.

[@PianotvNet]

Agreed, I love her!

[@my-lady-greensleeves5831]

She was great indeed. However, I wouldn't say she was born in the wrong generation. Yes, she was born during a time where she wasn't appreciated for her own self, sad but true. But had it not been her being born during the time she was, the history of music for men and women of the oncoming eras may've been different; she set the pathway for future composers.

[@Steppenziege]

Clara Schumann is my favorite!

[@themaggattack]

Frédéric Chopin Yes! Wow! She was amazing! 8 kids and a mentally ill husband to care for, and she still managed to compose! Very mind blowing that she inspired her husband as a child and made him famous after his death. She's the definition of "behind every successful man is a strong woman!"

[@hello-bt6hs]

Is it favourite composer not yourself Chopin?

[@insearchofpeace2151]

@@themaggattack Clara also had a controlling father.

[@Jeff-wb3hh]

You are doing a great service in presenting great, yet little known and neglicted, women composers. I hope women composers are preformed more often in concert halls. Just in the past week I discovered 4 incredible women composers that I had never heard before: Emilie Mayer (1812-1883) Marie Jaëll (1846-1925) Dora Pejačević (1885-1923) Zara Levina (1906-1976) I urge everyone to search for these composers here on KZbin and try them out. I think you maybe stunned.

[@alexmccullough1961]

When I play music on the piano for my little sister and I can only name men an writers, it truly struck the huge imbalance in recognition for women. Thanks for the video

[@grey878]

When I was in 6th grade I did a PowerPoint on Hildegard, and it was definitely one of the funnest things I had ever researched.

[@MrDSCH-ib2mx]

My favorite women composer is Sofia Gubaidulina.

[@ramfaki1256]

Thank you dear!Fascinating!Loved these women,I need to listen&enjoy their music

[@laylavladi]

I want to do some portraits about underrated musicians and this video is such a hidden gem!!! Thank you ♡ ♡

[@enassaleh1652]

There's also Tekla Badarzewska, if any of you are curious ^ ^ I'm learning her "la priere d'une vierge (the maiden's prayer)" she's also an over-rated musician and she's just as wonderful as they are!! >w< too bad she died too young :(

[@duolingoowl5622]

You should check out Douce Reverie (sweet dreams), a mazurka she composed which sounds just as amazing :)

[@Bwv1046]

She only has one piece 🥱

[@TheSunshinedreamer1]

Allysia, what fruitful research! I would love to hear more about Clara Schuman's and Amy Beach's music. Thank you for sharing this amazing video so freely:)

[@lightintheart]

Thank you so much for doing this video! I'm a Montessori music teacher and I used this entire video to pay tribute to women in music in honor of Women's History Month. I, then, spent the rest of class shedding light on Carole King with "You've Got a Friend". I thought you should know a music teacher in Manhattan Beach, Ca made this video a lesson! Thank you again you rock! -Justine

[@kathiemanthorne2961]

Great to know about Amy Beach, I am going to pursue her further. These stories of women in music are inspiring, do continue!!

[@Hailey_Paige_1937]

Thank you for posting!!! One of my favorite Hildegard pieces is “Ave Generosa”. ❤️

[@TheSarastro]

Have you heard of Alma Deutscher. Born 2005 in England. Her opera Cinderella performer in Wienna Dec. 2016. Next performance in San Francisco Dec. 2017. All tickets sold out 1 hour after beeing published.

[@gnemesis39]

Her and Emily Bear😍😍

[@gillesstanek335]

Second hearing, and still enjoying it. You certainly put a lot of dynamics into explaining these women's background, motives and passion for their musical creativity. Well done!

[@dylanchristensen7716]

Dont forget about the french composer Élisabeth Jacquet de La Guerre! Shes a really great baroque composer!

[@mallorga1965]

Dylan Christensen She's great! I was about to name her.

[@luigipati3815]

another brilliant one and personal fav, is Cécile Chaminade.

[@jimfowler278]

You just made day and it is not even 1 pm where I live. I am planning lessons for a school where I teach and I am approaching my plan from Women's History Month. Thank you for your gift.

[@MrTrevor181]

I WANT to hear about female composers... Its about time their names are heard.

[@JaneTXTN]

Thank you for this. Good info, love your perspective.

[@erikfurudi975]

Lili Boulanger is great

[@stephenarnold6359]

Please give me a link to something of hers which is not warmed-through Faure. I want to give her a chance but all the pieces I've heard are anodyne

[@michaelmamp9096]

Another of my favorite female composers was Ethel Smythe..English composer late 19th- early 20th century!

[@Nogah100]

Nice that you tell about the composers' life, but where are the pieces, in full? I'm so interested to hear the music!!!!!

[@roryreviewer6598]

One of my favorite women composers was Germaine Teillferre.

[@robertwilson7629]

I love this video. Thank you for making it. Just a funny side note: the picture of Hildegard von Bingen reminds me of the actress, Vanessa Redgrave.

[@NidusFormicarum]

Many probably consider Lili Boulanger as the greatest female composer and think she would have become one of the 20:th centuries greatest, hadn't it been for her fate.

[@VocalEdgeTV]

This is great. You’re great. Everyone listen to Lili Boulanger’s Psalm 130.

[@finnandjakeonapoptartcat5265]

Women in general are underrated

[@_alicia__]

Agreed, Brahms, agreed lol.

[@nathanbeler4874]

Valerie o Brian please calm down

[@nonviablevenus9206]

Internalized misogyny and sexist psuedo nonsense, sad.

[@nonviablevenus9206]

+Your Majesty You couldn't be more correct. There are countless hidden histories of women, accomplishments that have been stolen from them and to this day the prejudice and lack of genuine respect in more than enough cases is a sign we have a long way to go before women are seen and treated like people.

[@monsteramer2950]

Simp

[@Stella-xk7wk]

so interesting, the fact that I've never heard any of their compositions is kinda sad. but great video, Allysia !

[@isabella.grossi]

Chiquinha Gonzaga is a brazilian composer with an incredible story!! She's worth the search!

[@livia3377]

Thank you for video!!🖤

[@themaggattack]

Thank you so much for this great history lesson!

[@samuelrappaport6162]

Wow I can’t believe I was so blind. I mean I knew Clara Schumann and George sand but that was only because. If Chopin and Schumann. Thanks for opening my eyes

[@nicoleschneckenburger1593]

"She was in contact with popes and saints and emperors..." (Hildegard is also a saint and Doctor of the Church herself.) I also really like Ina Boyle, but she is so underrated that, as far as I can tell, the only other people who have ever heard of her are a handful of people living in Ireland.

[@u.v.s.5583]

When I lived in Kaiserslautern, which is pretty close to Bingen, Hildegard was revered as one of the more famous persons coming from the region. Locals considered her being some kind of witch or at least a mixture between a witch and a saint.

[@MIII96]

My favorite is Luise Adolpha Le Beau. Listen to her concert....It is amazing.

[@julieanderson100]

I recently discovered Amy Beach and Florence Price. I'd love to see you do another video like this. (I admittedly didn't check to see if you already have.)

[@gillesstanek335]

Thank you so much for this ravishing eye-opener on these women's music. As an unconditional classical music lover, hearing Clara Schumann and Amy Beach's compositions blew me off my feet. Again, a great many thanks for these sweet sounds, besides the cultural, historical background.

[@Hyperventilacion]

Something else about Clara, she performed most of Robert's work because he fucked up his hand too.

[@Lulu-jl5zd]

I think the Amy's Dreaming inspired Philip Glass as that swaying pattern in the left hand reminds me so much of the Glassworks opening!

[@uzefulvideos3440]

Zara Levina is probably my favorite classical female composer.

[@DimiLeventis]

Research the works of Chiquinha (Francisca) Gonzaga. She was a Brazilian mixed race conposer, who lived between Romantic and Modernist eras, and just like Heitor Villa Lobos (from the same era and place), she kinda walked a fine line between Classical and Popular music, mixing both quite often.

[@GEUcompositions]

We have to change it! We have to and we will :) Shout out to all us, female composers who want to change that :)

[@adiscorner5668]

Amy beach's Symphonies are amazing too . Also There is this another amazing composer Chaminade

[@mymom2644]

12:55 lmao she took a picture from gta 5

[@ErickthesickEmO]

I found this video very interesting and important. I started studying composition this year and I am really concern about women in this area. Actually there's only male composers teaching at my University which I think is a pity, since I'm sure there's lot of talented female composers in our era who need more recognition.

[@johnbrown1851]

Loved the Amy Beech..... have to check her out some more!

[@jamesmitchell6925]

This is great. I love Amy Beach! You should do a video on Gabriel Fauré. Nocturne 13 in B minor, The Sicilienne, Pavane, and Après un Rêve are some of my favorite pieces of music ever! Plus he had a really great mustache.

[@imagomundiful]

Thise i terested might want to check the amazing music of these ladies from the Itian Baroque: Isabella Leonarda, Marieta Priuli, Barbara Strozzi, Francesca Caccini, Laura Maddalena Lombardini Sirmen and of course EJ de la Guerre

[@TheOpus480]

Amy Beach almost sounds like as if she has an almost Chopin style and emotion to her pieces.?? Idk maybe its just me.

[@TabindaMustershad]

Sophie Thorneywork I agree - she does.

[@Pythonaria]

I thought more of a Liszt influence.

[@organicwombtechnology4069]

awesome hope you continue on all the other women silenced!

[@MD-cu6wq]

I think the place of women in society over the centuries should be noted and cannot be overlooked when people are making judgmental comments here. Women's access to education and restrictive laws combined with a crippled socioeconomic position in society - from a purely historical point of view, need to be taken into account when assessing levels of achievement In any field really.

[@harleymartin1207]

You do a great job (:

[@peymannoorbakhsh4749]

At 4:45 beside Bingen's book you have showed two pages. They are in Persian and I couldn't find them anywhere. Would you tell me from where I can reach them? I totally enjoyed yours VDO especially Clara Schumann's part.

[@christophfrei9578]

Well done. Thank you

[@chrissahar2014]

You forgot one of the great composers period of the 20th century - Ruth Crawford Seeger, the mother of influential folk musician Pete Seeger and whose husband was one of the important musicologists of American music. But I would say start with Ruth Crawford Seeger's string quarter and you will hear why she is so fantastic.

[@DonnaHarrisMusicStudio]

Thanks for doing this video. I think if most people have heard of these women in the past that they will have forgotten about them as the focus is always on the men.

[@Bwv1046]

Yes you know because men are historically much better at music?

[@johnb6723]

Jane Fraser, of Castle Fraser in Scotland. Three Polonaises (1819).

[@juanborjas6416]

What about Ruth Crawford Seeger and Vivian Fine? 😟 Good video nevertheless.

[@j.m.r.f6286]

Thank you..gracia's

[@Dbenenenenett]

Another excellent (albeit understudied) female pianist and composer was Marie Jaëll (1846-1925). In many ways epitomized the romantic era without becoming absurd or sensationalized with her music. She was so respected by her contemporaries that Liszt's 3rd Mephisto Waltz is dedicated to her. It's a disappointing and sobering thought to consider how many extraordinary women could have been musicians or had their music preserved for us to enjoy today. Excellent video!

[@alfridamaek]

Where can I listen to more of these amazing artists?

[@OndrejPopp]

Why isn't Nannerl Mozart, Wolfgang's sister famous like these women are?

[@OndrejPopp]

Clark Kent Yes that's her.

[@AABB-zb6dv]

As far as I know Nannerl didn't compose her own music? But they say as a kid she was more talented than Wolfgang. The family toured Europe and she was listed as top performer at those concerts. It's intresting how at that time little girl could be such popular musician but once she reaches marriageble age it was a no-no-no. She must marry and take care of kids... Stupid people.

[@womensphil]

She did write music, but it was not preserved. There is a great play about her called "The Other Mozart"

[@SymphonicDynasty]

hello world Yep, stupid people indeed... lets not mention every other civilization was doing the same... and some are still doing it now... (but THEY are the stupid ones). Looking back to past humans and calling them out for their mistakes makes no sense. The future humans will do the same to us by the way. No need to call anyone stupid- Specially if what you're doing WORKS well In the the timeframe you live in

[@ARedMagicMarker]

Wonderful lesson. :)

[@arius1]

I did a Google search "female classical composers". As yet I have found nothing that stirs my heart or makes my blood surge. Please provide links!

[@ryanwinnick7312]

Love this, thank you. I'm an actress and working on scene from A Feminine Ending by Sarah Treem. It's a play that explores the struggle of a young female composer trying to carve out a career on her own right. Still hard for women today! Check it out, I think you'd love the play.

Thank you! I never knew about Fanny Mendelssohn or Amy Beach. I'm particularly interested now in Amy.

[@PianotvNet]

Amy was a boss! She's got lots of great music.

[@JEMTenor]

Pauline Viardot wrote some great French Mélodie(and I'm sure a lot more). I heard she was highly regarded by Clara Schumann too.

[@f.gornandt8701]

Cool video. Thanks for the informations! I've heard Clara, Fanny and Hildegard, but never knew Amy before. Something I had no clou about and found out lately as a opera loving person and also singing one is, that librettos had the same problem like the composing of music. At a concert I sang a aria from Georg Phillip Telemanns "Germanicus" (a baroque composer) and 2 days before that concert I read, that the libretto was writen by a woman named Christine Dorothea Lachs who wrote to more librettos for Telemann. If you like to hear that aria, I did back than, you can take a visit at my channel! :)

[@alessiacarinci1054]

Completely unrelated, but your lipstick is really cute! Which one is it?

[@TheBoxBand]

Thanks for the amazing video. I create a podcast about music and for the next episode I am going to talk about women in music history. specially the composers which have been overshadowed. Do you know any source like books and articles which are dedicated to this subject? this would really help me to introduce women composers to my audiences.

[@kristianj.8798]

Fanny Mendelssohn is one of my very favorite composers - I almost like her music even more so than her older brother (if it wasn't for his "Songs Without Words"). I don't find Clara Schumann very interesting though. Though her music is pleasant enough, it seems to excessively reflect as a product of her time, rather than by her own innovation. And her taste, regarding Liszt's Piano Sonata in B minor (she disregarded it entirely as just "a blind noise"), I couldn't disagree more with

[@andrecaron8518]

Marie Jaëll is worth discovering.

[@kimsahl8555]

You have 3 kind of composing - men woman and computer (machinery), in this order is the quality.

[@radioboys8986]

Louise Farrenc

[@DonnaHarrisMusicStudio]

Great topic and video as it's often continues to be quite challenging to name female genius sadly. I respectfully disagree with you when you say the idea of a woman attributing her talent etc to God is anti-feminist; it isn't. The men were expected to do the same. People were strongly encouraged to be modest. It's something that religious people do and we can also be feminist at the same time as well. I hope you will reconsider this point as it's a misunderstanding that some non-believers have. Even non-believers admit that they do not have full control over their talent. Songs and music come to them and they don't know how or why. That's because it comes from God. We are born with our talents and then we have to work on them to refine and maintain them, but we do not have full control for them. We therefore cannot reasonably take full credit for them.

[@alfridamaek]

Let's listen to some music!!!

[@robertamcguffin3446]

Dear piano TV, There are hundreds nay thousands of women composers out there. I know I'm asking a lot, but could you pick an era, and just play composers from that era? I know Medieval and Renaissance might be a little thin but after that there should be less of a problem. And you could mention the names of composes(women) whose families threw away all their stuff after they died. There are tons of them too. If you could do this maybe the hundreds of classical radio stations across america would be embarrassed enough to play MORE WOMEN COMPOSERS!!!!!

[@rogermoore27]

When I first saw her name on the CD's of classica music, I thought to myself that the name sounds feminine but I thought that maybe the guy at that time had a unisex name

[@Nogah100]

Why do you stop the playing of this good music in order to talk, talk, talk? Please, where is the great beautiful music itself?

[@robertamcguffin3446]

Loved this. However I know all these composers. Could you please make a series of these little expos from periods of music from medieval to current? Mention names heard very infrequently. There are hundreds of women composers out there. Please continue to be a light shining in the darkness! I want to see thumbs up on your sites for 500k plus.

why can't you just talk about the music.... why bore us with your feminist man bashing crap. Obviously hildegaard de bingen wasn't oppressed under patriarchy if she was encouraged to write music.

[@attilaambrus4521]

It has nothing to do with "women have more rights now". They were not as talented or genius like the male composers. Simple as that. Leave your feminist schtick out of this.

[@FeonaLeeJones]

Women weren’t encouraged to compose as much back then. The world is changing but it is still a heavily male dominated field. Mozart’s sister was apparently more talented a composer than Mozart but he worth was based on if she was going to be married so the focus went to Mozart to develop his compositional abilities.
