Louise Farrenc was acclaimed as a pianist and pedagogue, and was admired by Robert Schumann for her compositions. This second of six volumes dedicated to Farrenc's complete works for piano focuses on her Theme and Variations sets. Maria Stratigou's recording of the Ã‰tudes (GP912-13) was considered 'beguiling piano music' in BBC Music Magazine, confirming once again that Farrenc has been unjustly neglected as a composer.
