9 Female Composers From 3 Centuries

The 7th volume of the Urtext Primo series is dedicated to female composers. Taking into account the level of difficulty decisive for Urtext Primo, the circle of female composers was expanded to nine, compared to the usual three. The various works come from three centuries, which also reflects the three-part concept. Elisabetta Gambarini and Marianna von Martines stand for the 18th century, Louise Farrenc, Fanny Hensel, Clara Schumann, Francisca Gonzaga and Marie Jaëll for the 19th century, and finally Mélanie Bonis and Lili Boulanger for the 20th century. As in the other Urtext Primo volumes, the pieces come with playing and practice tips as well as biographical information and a repertoire table arranged according to difficulty categories.
