THE COMPOSER DELPHINE VON SCHAUROTH – Introduction to the concert
Dr Ingrid Bosch shares interesting facts and anecdotes about the forgotten, highly gifted composer
Delphine von Schauroth (1813–1887) was a enfant prodige and went on to become a successful pianist. Her musical career spanned – despite three marriages and long breaks – a period of around 50 years.
As a virtuoso, she was mentioned in the same breath as Clara Schumann, Franz Liszt and Felix Mendelssohn. During her lifetime, only her ‘Songs Without Words’ were published; these were enthusiastically reviewed by Robert Schumann in the ‘Neue Zeitschrift für Musik’.
Dr Ingrid Bodsch’s entertaining introduction to Els Biesemans’s fortepiano recital shares fascinating facts and anecdotes about this forgotten, highly gifted composer and contemporary of Chopin.
