Details: Composers' conclave in Leipzig - chamber music by Edvard Grieg, Ethel Smyth and Amanda Maier "An expression of the deep friendship by Maier, Grieg and Smyth may be felt in the linking momentum of their composing: although each of these creative figures embodied their own personal style, each of them draws from the living waters of their country's folk music, which throbs through their works as it's primal impulse."
