Louise Ferrenc – who one critic proclaimed the greatest female composer. I’m listening to her more often these days and always come away with the feeling that she truly is a great composer. Here are 3 complete compositions.

Farrenc Sonata #1 in 3 movements

 

Farrenc Sonata #2 in 4 movements

 

Farrenc: Variation concertantes sur une melodie suisse Op. 20 in 8 movements
