Pianist and musicologist Maria Stratigou is one of the leading scholars in 19^th century music by women composers with a specific expertise in the piano works of Louise Farrenc. Her fifth volume of recordings dedicated to Farrenc collects fugues, melodies, and waltzes. Farrenc’s graceful Mélodie in A flat major was included in an 1846 anthology of works by an array of composers inspired by Beethoven’s music. The Impromptu in B minor appeared in another publication, Vogt’s Musical Album of Autographs, alongside compositions by 62 other musicians including Berlioz, Gounod, and Liszt. The fugues were never published in Farrenc’s lifetime and are heard here in a world-premiere recording.
