Music in Spring

Luther Museum Amsterdam, Nieuwe Keizersgracht 570

Tussen klassiek en romantiek heeft Mozart drie vrouwelijke muzikale geestverwanten: Hélène de Montgeroult, Fanny Mendelssohn en Clara Schumann.

Fortepianiste Rosalía Gómez Lasheras schrijft over haar repertoirekeuze voor dit voorjaarsprogramma: “The program shows the development of the piano solo repertoire during an especially fascinating period: the first half of the 19th century. From Mozart’s pre-romantic features to Mendelssohn’s virtuoso writing. Besides, it includes lesser-known female composers such as Hélène de Montgeroult”.

Hélène de Montgeroult, born March 2, 1764 in Lyon and died May 20, 1836 in Florence, was a French composer and pianist. 
Recognised as one of the best fortepiano performers and improvisers of her time, and a published composer, Montgeroult adapted to the rapid development of her instrument by makers such as Erard. 
She is considered by her biographer Jérôme Dorival as a bridge between classicism and romanticism.
He describes her as “the missing link between Mozart and Chopin”.
